Ethan Farmer adapts to change as starter on Tar Heel defensive line

Posted Dec 19, 2013
UNC defensive tackle Ethan Farmer has averaged more than four stops per game this season, has caused one fumble and is credited with several quarterback hurries. “Ever since I arrived here, every day has been a learning experience for me,” said Farmer by phone from Chapel Hill Tuesday. “I’ve had three head coaches and seven defensive line coaches, but I guess in the long run it has helped me mature and become a better player.” (Whiteville News Reporter)
