North Carolina's Ryan Switzer poised for breakout season

Posted May 8, 2014
If you've never heard of Ryan Switzer, file his name away. The sophomore is poised to be one of the breakout players in college football in 2014. "Next year, I can easily go over five," he said of punt returns for touchdowns. "I didn't return a punt [for a touchdown] until our [seventh] game of the season. Given the opportunities, with what we've got coming back, that'll be a no-brainer." (Sports Illustrated)
