Yes it is that time of year again, many indoor football leagues across the nation will be kicking off this weekend. Huntington is no stranger to indoor football as two franchises, the Huntington Heroes and River Cities LocoMoties use to play in town.
I have found four players with Marshall ties who are continuing there playing careers indoors. Former Herd defensive lineman Ryland Wilson will be suiting up for the Richmond Raiders (AIFA). Wilson was a two year player at Marshall (06-07) after transferring from junior college. 1999 All MAC defensive back Daninelle Derricott will be playing for Richmond’s other in indoor team the Revolution (IFL).
Two players with Marshall ties have come together in Columbus Georgia to play for the Lions (SIFL). Running back Tony Leath was part of Bob Pruett’s last recruiting class and spent one year at Marshall before transferring to North Carolina A&T. Another name Herd fans will recognize on the Lion’s roster is Chris Terrell. Terrell, who was ruled academically ineligible for his senior season, played defensive line at Marshall but has switched to offensive line for indoor football.
Other Marshall alumni who have played indoor/arena football that could end up on rosters later this season include Chris Royal, Jamus Martin, Dennis Thornton, Darius Watts and Curtis Keyes.
*Please note the Arena Football league does not return until April. Former Marshall quarterback Bernard Morris plays for one of Arena Football’s expansion franchises, the Jacksonville Sharks.
