Robert Quinn - The No. 4-ranked pass rusher in the Class of 2008 was a Signing Day decision between Auburn and North Carolina and was a major coup for Butch Davis to land as the new head coach of the Tar Heels. The biggest factor for his decision at the time was sharing a health scare with the staff. Quinn said he and Davis were "along the same terms" after both had cancer. (Missouri Sports Online)
