Yesterday Athlon shared who they thought the 10 most underrated players were in the ACC heading into the 2015 football season. NC State Junior Jack Tocho is surrounded by some elite cornerbacks in the ACC, but Athlon says that Tocho can’t be overlooked.
Jack Tocho, CB, NC State
Tocho has been a key defender in coach Dave Doeren’s rebuilding effort in Raleigh. The North Carolina native played in 12 games as a true freshman in 2013 and recorded 25 tackles and two interceptions. Tocho played even better as a sophomore, starting all 13 games for the Wolfpack and recording with 41 tackles and 11 pass breakups. The ACC has three potential All-Americans returning at cornerback with Clemson’s Mackensie Alexander, Florida State’s Jalen Ramsey and Virginia Tech’s Kendall Fuller. However, Tocho should not be overlooked when filling out preseason all-conference ballots. (Athlon)
