Marshall football lands four on C-USA All-Freshman team

Cornerback Chris Jackson (3) was one of four Thundering Herd players to be named to the Conference USA All-Freshman team.

Marshall came out of the Conference USA award season with the consolation of having four freshmen honored.

Four upperclassmen were named All-C-USA, but no Thundering Herd players were named to the first or second teams — the first such blanking in the Herd’s 12 years in the league. It wasn’t a big surprise, as the 3-9 Herd won only two conference games.

MU last failed to make an all-conference team in 1985, back in the Southern Conference era.
