Some draft news of the good kind. UNC DT Kentwan Balmer was selected 29th by the San Fransico 49ers. Balmer really came on during his senior season and ended up being 2nd team All-ACC finishing with 59 tackles and three sacks. This also helps in terms of recruting, especially when you consider Balmer went from off the radar to a first round pick in one year under Butch Davis.
