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.
“I’ll admit, I thought Tre played really good football last year,” Fuller said of Tyler, who finished with 42 tackles and played 440 snaps in 2015.
