The Thundering Word: It’s a new-name game at LB for Fuller
– With apologies to Penn State, Marshall kind of felt like it was Linebacker U. in recent seasons.HUNTINGTON
For Herd football this spring, however, it’s “Linebacker … Who?”
After coaching multi-year starters like Evan McKelvey, D.J. Hunter, Neville Hewitt and Jermaine Holmes in his first three seasons as Marshall’s linebackers coach, Adam Fuller has a depth chart that’s seriously under construction as spring practice begins.
Rising senior middle linebacker Devontre’a Tyler – you can call him “Tre” – started the final 12 games as the Herd finished 10-3 with a St. Petersburg Bowl victory last season. Otherwise, names like Petty, Huskey, Hernandez, Hancock, Durant and Grimes are filling spots.
