Marshall Football: Eric Frohnapfel Verbally Commits to Herd

After visiting Marshall this past weekend former WVU commitment Eric Frohnapfel has de-committed from the Mountaineers and will spend his college years in Huntington. Eric, a 6'6, 210 pound tight end from Colonial Forge High School (VA) is the twin brother of fellow Marshall verbal commitment Blake Frohnapfel (QB).

This past season Eric caught 28 passes for 641 yards and 9 touchdowns. He is also known as an accomplished blocker. For his standout senior season Eric was named a Washington Post All - Metropolitan first team player.

Eric recently re-opened his recruitment after WVU named Dana Holgorsen their head coach in waiting. Holgorsen, a offensive coordinator from Oklahoma State, does not feature a tight end in his offense. Eric, a three star prospect according to Rivals.com, also had offers from Virginia and Miami Ohio.
