Persistence Pays Off For Ethan Farmer

Posted Sep 17, 2014
Senior defensive tackle Ethan Farmer’s perseverance in the face of adversity has allowed him to return to the field and anchor North Carolina’s young defensive line. At 6-foot-3, 295 pounds, Farmer is the prototypical nose tackle for associate head coach for defense Vic Koenning's attacking 4-2-5 scheme. Farmer was a force up front last season, starting all 13 games. (Inside Carolina)
