ESPN continued its offseason look at the ACC and brought up an intriguing question - who is the X-factor for each team in the conference?
For the Panthers, the site selected defensive end Dewayne Hendrix ... and I have a hard time disagreeing.
Hendrix transferred from Tennessee to the Panthers last year and after sitting out the 2015 season, is ready to get onto the field this fall. He was a big-time recruit before selecting Tennessee with reported offers from Ohio State, Florida, Michigan State, Penn State, and others. Hendrix was a four-star recruit per Rivals and rated by the site as the fifth best defensive end in the nation.
