UNC Needs Marvin Austin To Blossom

Posted Jul 3, 2009
Now is the time for Marvin Austin to finally turn in the great season that has escaped him so far. He anchors a deep North Carolina defensive line loaded with talent and potential, but one that hasn’t tapped into that ability enough over the last two seasons. Each Tar Heels lineman has performed well in stretches, but consistency has been an issue, and they are still waiting for one of them to emerge a star. (Buster Sports)
