UNC QB transfers to W&M

WILLIAMSBURG - The College of William and Mary¹s football program announced this afternoon that quarterback Mike Paulus has transferred into the College and will be enrolled in classes this coming January.

Paulus, a native of Syracuse, N.Y., came out of Christian Brothers Academy as one of the more heralded scholastic quarterbacks in the nation, and was ranked the No. 1 player in New York by SuperPrep and was the state's Gatorade Player of the Year.

He is transferring into the Tribe program from the University of North Carolina, where he saw limited playing time over the past two seasons, after redshirting for the 2007 season. Paulus will have two years of eligibility remaining for William and Mary.

The Tribe will enter the 2010 season fresh off one of the most successful campaigns in school history, as the College posted an 11-3 record, made an appearance in the National Semi-Finals and finished as high as third in the final Football Championship Series polls.
