Marvin Austin to Return for Senior Season
Posted Jan 2, 2010
Defensive tackle Marvin Austin announced Friday via his Twitter account that he will forego the 2010 NFL Draft and return for his senior season at UNC. "I will be a tar heel for 2010! In some things it ain't all about the money. I love carolina!" Austin follows the lead of fellow juniors Greg Little, Deunta Williams and Bruce Carter, who have also announced plans to return for their senior seasons. Junior cornerback Kendric Burney and linebacker Quan Sturdivant have yet to announce their intentions.
