Doug Smock: New Herd receivers under the gun from day one
Tyre Brady could fill a starting receiver position for the Herd after the departures of Deon-Tay McManus, Michael Clark and a number of seniors.The one positive for Marshall in losing two wide receivers to professional football — they should not be mentioned in conjunction with the NFL draft — is that two scholarships opened up.
Perhaps Thundering Herd coaches can fill one with a well-touted wide receiver who pulls a passing test score late and commits at the 11th hour. If I were a blue-chip receiver in that situation, I take a loooong look at Huntington, West Virginia.
With Deon-Tay McManus and Michael Clark turning pro for whatever reason, the position is wide, wide, wide open.
