Marshall Football: Preview of 2011 Herd Recruiting Class

With college footballs signing day just around the corner on February 2nd lets take a look at Marshall’s current verbal commitment list and who else might be joining the Herd this week. I have split the list into three categories, verbal commitments that will qualify, verbal commitments that will not qualify, and free agents (players Marshall is pursuing but have not verbally committed). Here is the list, each player is listed along with a link to their Marshall Thundering Blog profile:
