The Thundering Word: Doc welcomes more recruits to Herd
– Before long, they will be wearing the kelly green and white of Marshall, but their recruiting designation by Herd football is of a different hue.HUNTINGTON
Coach Doc Holliday’s program has added six players as “blueshirts,” a designation for a student-athlete who is able to enroll to play immediately in the fall, although they are not initial counters on scholarship limits until 2017-18 school year.
FBS programs are using the “blueshirt” rule to aid depth, and the six who are joining Holliday’s Herd are scheduled to go on athletic scholarship in the fall semester as counters under the overall limit of 85. All are enrolled in classes this summer.
