Jacksonville's Curry twins sign with N.C. A&T football


Kris Curry (6'-2"/245 4.60 40 yd dash) shared The Daily News player of the year honors after he rushed for a school, record 2,327 yards to go along with 19 touchdowns, last season.  Korey Curry (6'-2"/235 4.65 40 yd dash) was a first-team all-area defensive back after he recorded 42 tackles, 14.5 sacks and eight tackles for losses for 9-4 Northside High School. 

JACKSONVILLE, North Carolina -- The Curry twins of Northside High are taking their football prowess and personable and sometimes outspoken personalities to Greensboro.

Kris and Korey Curry signed national letters of intent Thursday to play at North Carolina A&T University of the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference. They both called it a dream to not only play collegiate football but also to play Division I.

N.C. A&T is a member of the Football Championship Subdivision.

“I’m both excited and relieved,” Korey said. “I know where I’m going and I’m excited to be out there playing football again.”

Kris echoed his brother’s comments, adding that football gave them a better opportunity than basketball. The twins were key cogs in Northside’s basketball team that this season advanced to the NCHSAA East Regionals for the third consecutive season.
