McManus envisions breakout season in 2016

Marshall University redshirt sophomore wide receiver Deon-Tay McManus is expected to be one of the team’s Marshall’s top receiving options next season as he is looking to rebound from a subpar 2015 season.

McManus totaled 36 receptions for 334 yards and one touchdown this season in what was a disappointing year after the superb impression he made with Marshall fans his freshman year when he recorded 26 receptions for 422 yards and six touchdowns, including the game-winning score in Marshall Conference USA Championship victory.

With spring football having just begun for the Herd, the 6-foot-1, 226-pound talent said he is motivated and ready to challenge his game heading into his junior season.
