The first time Charlotte Country Day football coach Drew Witman saw Aaron Curry coach, Curry had come over as a volunteer last fall, a few days before Witman's team was going to play rival Charlotte Catholic.
"I saw him coach one minute," Witman said, "and I said, 'This guy is special.'"
You may remember Curry. He was a Shrine Bowl player at Fayetteville Smith High School. Only considered a two-star recruit coming out of high school, he went to Wake Forest and became the nation's best linebacker in 2008, making All-ACC at Wake Forest for the third straight season.
