West Virginia native turned-UNC football star Ryan Switzer hasn’t forgotten where he came from

Posted Feb 22, 2016
Many WVU fans know exactly who UNC standout wide receiver Ryan Switzer is. A majority of them wish the West Virginia native sported Old Gold and Blue instead of Carolina Blue, but it didn’t work out that way. Though Switzer took his speed and versatility to UNC, the senior still roots for his home state of West Virginia, especially when it comes to the hardwood. (Blue Gold Sports)
