While Rakeem Cato (who has bulked
up to 193 pounds this offseason) and Blake Frohnapfel fill the first two
spots on Marshall’s quarterback depth chart, a battle is brewing for the third
position between redshirt freshman Gunnar Holcombe and freshman Kevin Anderson.
Doug Smock of the Charleston Gazette writes that the Thundering Herds spilt squad practices,
with Holcombe and Anderson quarterbacking the morning session, is giving both
young players plenty of repetitions. Smock also spoke with offensive
coordinator Bill Legg about freshman offensive lineman Tyler Combs. With
senior left tackles Gage Niemeyer and Jordan Jeffries set to graduate Combs is
being groomed as their potential replacement.
At the Charleston Daily Mail, Derek Redd talked with head
coach Doc Holliday about Marshall’s full senior class,
numbering 20 players as opposed to last season’s eight.
Looking at the defense, Huntington Herald Dispatch columnist
Chuck Landon profiled linebacker Neville
Hewitt, a junior college transfer that missed spring practice while
finishing up class at Georgia Military College. Despite his late arrival,
linebackers coach Adam Fuller has been impressed by Hewitt during the first two
days of camp.
Fully recovered from a torn rotator cuff and labrum suffered
this time last year, redshirt freshman A.J. Leggett spoke with HerdZone.com’s
Jack Bogaczyk about adjusting
to his new position at safety.
