Carolina pulled in a couple top level transfers, one from Clemson, Auburn and Vt each. Add in some really stellar play from the young guys last year, (Storm Duck) and the UNC defensive back room was getting full. Last year there were a ton of injuries that forces the true freshmen into action. Ross probably could have competed on the two deep but obviously he's looking for a more substantial roll.
Great get for the good guys, glad one of my UNC transfers ended up at ISU.
Board fodder over on the blue side, everyone is pretty thrilled that if he had to leave, he's going to play for CMC. Also, interesting to note that Batemen, UNC DC, learned his multiple def from you guessed it... ISU. Should be a leg up for Ross.
