'17 NC LB Justin Foster

"“I like the coaching staff a lot and I really like the atmosphere a lot," Foster said. "The atmosphere is great. You can’t beat the atmosphere up there. It’s just really nice up there.”

“They are going to let me major in what I want to, mechanical engineering," Foster explained. "A lot of schools tell me they will let me major in that but when your quarterback does they have to let you.

“It means a lot because that’s pretty much my future if football gets cut short,” Foster said. “That’s my future and if they let me balance my schedule and major in that then they will be pretty high.”

“I feel like they are on the rise," Foster said. "They should be up there either next year or the year after that. They had a great season, a lot of close games, and once they learn how to finish those close games they are going to be on top.”

Do some schools mandate their athletes major in PE or something? I kind of thought they were allowed to pursue whatever they wanted everywhere...but it's on the kid to make the grades in whatever field he wishes to pursue. With that said, it's impressive that the kid seems to have a level head and wants to plan for the future through a solid field of study.

Some schools don't let kids pursue notoriously hard majors for fear they won't meet academic requirements, but then some do. Depends on the school and coaching staff

Well now that we're on to the 17 class... It'd be nice to get foster on board early.

I've started 2 player threads on VolNation. The 1st was Nigel Warrior, the 2nd was Justin Foster.

I'm looking to start a streak.

Wow, if we land the majority of the top 8 guys in TN, and we can get Foster Number 1 player in NC, and Gibbs who is a top player is UGA. 2017 we might not be talking just top 10. Top 5 again. Heck, top 3. I hope Butch can get some of these elite guys to commit early similar to 2014 and 2015 and really get the ball rolling.

Meh sister. Unless they are super close thats not an issue.

Heck Todd Kellys sister went to Bama. Andrew Butchers went to Ole Miss.

I think most little brothers would prefer to get away from their older sister so it might actually help us :)

Austin Nichols' twin sister was a freshman at UT when he commited to Memphis. Players will go where they are comfortable and can get on the field. The good thing is that we need LB's next year. Clemson will be tough though.

How was his Twin a freshman in college if he was a senior in HS?

Was one born before midnight of the cut off date and the other after midnight!?!?

I've always wondered how that would work.

I knew this would be asked. My understanding is that Austin was held back at some point in school, probably for athletic reasons.

Edit: Sorry, I am on mobile and having trouble linking the article, but the address below mentions his sister.
