UNC defensive tackle Marvin Austin ready to shine

Posted Aug 27, 2008

Marvin Austin could have played for Florida State or LSU or Southern Cal and been just one of the high school All-Americans those programs seem to collect. But when the nation’s No. 1 defensive tackle prospect selected North Carolina in February 2007, he chose to become the face of a rebuilding effort. One year into that process, Austin and the Tar Heels seem ahead of schedule. (Fayetteville Observer)
