When a team makes the jump from the FCS to the FBS, the landing can be very tricky. Making the jump after a mere two years as a program can be like trying to land an elephant on the head of a pin.
The Charlotte 49ers attempted that feat in 2015, seeing mixed success in their first year as a FBS program. While the record (2-10) left a lot to be desired, one thing that came out of the 49ers inaugural season was the standout play of of Larry Ogunjobi.
Ogunjobi, the son of Nigerian immigrants, was not an overly impressive recruit coming out of high school.
