Marshall Football: Verbal commitment watch, week 5

A weekly look at how Marshall’s verbal commitments performed during their high school football games:

1. Tyler Combs, OL, Lawrence County High School (KY)

Lawrence County lost their third game in a row Friday night, dropping a 35 – 6 decision to Letcher County Central. Can’t find a game story but I did pick up this interesting tidbit, Letcher County is quarterbacked by Logan Johnson, cousin of former Kentucky quarterback and NFL first round draft pick Tim Couch.

2. Devon Johnson, LB/RB, Richlands High School (VA)

Devon Johnson had a huge night during Richlands 38 – 21 win over Pulaski, rushing for 199 yards on 23 carries with two touchdowns on the ground. He also caught a pass for a touchdown.
