Pirates’ football has future superstar already contributing on its hands

Anyone who has been focused on the East Carolina University football team's record, quarterback controversy or coaching struggles has missed the real story this season—a redshirt freshman who has shone through all the storms.

Aaron Ramseur has emerged as a stellar linebacker and one of the strongest players on defense. In just his second start, the Pirates were taking on Temple and the Owls were down to the two-yard-line early in the game. But Ramseur stepped in front of quarterback Logan Marchi’s pass and intercepted it, the first of his collegiate career, keeping the Pirates in a game they would eventually lose.
