Two Tar Heels out, three others awarded football scholarships

CHAPEL HILL – Four players were missing from UNC Photo Day this morning:

  • Mywan Jackson, a junior cornerback who started five games last year, will not return to UNC because of personal reasons, team spokesman Kevin Best said.
  • Senior running back Ryan Houston, who was still in Charlotte attending to personal business. He was expected to arrive on campus in time to attend when the team opens fall practice at 1:30 p.m. today, Best said.
  • Defensive tackle Brandon Willis, who transferred from UNC to UCLA, only to transfer back to UNC, has decided to transfer again.
  • Freshman defensive back Brandon Ellerbe, who is still waiting to be OK’ed by the NCAA Clearinghouse.

Meanwhile, new interim head coach awarded three scholarships last night to senior fullback Curtis Byrd, holder Trase Jones and deep snapper Mark House.
