The Pirates found a bit of a sleeper in linebacker Ben Norris out of Myers Park High in Charlotte. Norris has made his way to the Shrine Bowl for the North Carolina team and he talked to Rivals.com about his plans as he approaches early enrollment at ECU.

The Charlotte product is fast, plugs the hole, has good wheels, is a hard hitter and shows a real nose for the football.

Norris picked up his ECU offer last spring and chose the Pirates over Elon, Coastal Carolina and Georgetown. He also was receiving interest from West Virginia and Louisville.
