Counting down the ACC's top 30 players: No. 12 Quan Sturdivant

Posted Jun 20, 2009
Why he's here: Quan Sturdivant's a game changer, and he led the nation with 87 unassisted tackles last year and led UNC with 122. Sturdivant proved this spring he's capable of replacing Mark Paschal at middle linebacker, and his move will open things up for Zach Brown and make this group even faster. Sturdivant finished the season ranked third in the ACC and 20th in the country with 9.4 tackles per game. (ESPN.com)
