Coach Riddle on Earle: “To have a player who has started matches in the ACC join us as a redshirt sophomore is a real big pick up for this program. In Justin we are getting a composed-in-possession player with an excellent passing range and a defender who rarely gets beaten on the ground or in the air. Like the other transfers, he is chomping at the bit to help this program compete at the highest levels, and he has the ability to help us get there.”
