Bitter times turn sweet for N.C. State brothers

If it wasn't for a double dose of bad luck, neither DaJuan Morgan nor his little brother, DeAndre, would be playing football at North Carolina State.
But their misfortune turned into luck for them and for the Wolfpack, which faces Miami on Saturday with the brothers forming half of an improving secondary that has N.C. State on a two-game winning streak after a 1-5 start.
DaJuan, 22, a junior safety, was a standout receiver and quarterback at Suncoast High School, as well as a state champion sprinter. DeAndre, 19, is a redshirt freshman cornerback who started for three seasons for the Chargers.
DaJuan's dream was to play for Ohio State and DeAndre wanted to go to Miami. Injuries during their senior seasons, however, ruined those plans.
DaJuan dislocated his hip in a car accident and the Buckeyes backed off a scholarship offer. DeAndre missed nearly all of his final season with a broken foot that scared away UM.
