Freshman punt returner Switzer ready to turn in a big play

Posted Nov 1, 2013
A year ago, then-high school senior Ryan Switzer stood in the sea of Carolina blue-clad fans, cheering as Giovani Bernard dodged N.C. State defenders and found the end zone, defeating N.C. State for the first time in five years. And on Saturday, Switzer will trot onto the field at Carter-Finley Stadium, waiting to receive the Wolfpack’s punts after securing the role of primary punt returner. (Daily Tar Heel)
