HUNTINGTON – Clint Van Horn wasn’t quite ready to become the next Doug Legursky, a star offensive lineman from Beckley, Woodrow Wilson High School and Marshall University who reached the NFL.
Yet, during the shortest month of the year that became a long one for Van Horn, he felt like pro football might be where he was going to play his 2016 season.
Finally, Van Horn got what he’d hoped – an additional season of eligibility with the Thundering Herd, after the right tackle’s petition to the NCAA for the so-called “sixth year” was approved Tuesday.
