HUNTINGTON – As Marshall football digs deeper into 2016 spring practice, Josh Knight and Michael Clark are doing much more than catching on and catching passes.
The Herd held its first controlled spring scrimmage Saturday morning at Edwards Stadium, and the two Sunshine State receivers were running consistently with the first offensive unit … and that’s a new experience for both.
Knight, a speedy special teams regular for the past two seasons, hasn’t played much on offense. Now, the rising senior from Fort Pierce, Fla., is getting the opportunity to win the slot receiver job … a spot where record-setting Tommy Shuler held court for three seasons and Deandre Reaves for a breakout year in 2015.
