UNC true freshman defensive lineman Marvin Austin was named 1st team All-American by scout.com.

Marvin was a terror when he was on the field. He had 26 tackles, 6 TFL, and 4 sacks. He was a disruptive force on the D-line and had the explosiveness to constantly be in the backfield.

At last week's game against Duke, I personally saw Marvin put a hit on Thadius Lewis (QB for Duke) that was one of the hardest I had seen in a while. Lewis layed on the group for about 2 minutes after the hit trying to regain composure.

Marvin, as he continues to improve and mature, will be a force to be reckoned with in years to come.

Also, LB Quan Sturidvant and S Deunta Williams were named to the honorable mention team.

Congrats to these young players. It's been a long time since UNC has had players receiving awards, to it makes the future look a lot brighter.
