Does Marshall have another Reaves in waiting?

HUNTINGTON — There are the usual pile of questions surrounding the Marshall football team as spring practice opens today, several revolving around a central theme.

Who will become the next Deandre Reaves?

We’re not necessarily talking about who will be the next starting slot receiver, though the Thundering Herd needs one. We’re talking about the current junior who will use these five weeks as a springboard to a markedly better senior year.

Reaves has left the model. He was a game-breaking kick returner for three seasons, but had 56 of his 64 career receptions and 705 of his 773 receiving yards as a senior.
