Marshall Athletics' Future Looks Promising

Marshall Director of Athletics, Gerald Harrison, is optimistic about the future of the Thundering Herd.

Harrison addressed the university's Board of Governors, discussing new developments in college athletics, including a single transfer portal window for college football players in January.

“That puts us in a little bit of a crunch to get student-athletes here before the drop/add date, but we do know that whatever team we have at that point in January, we know that’s the team that we will field—more than likely the majority of them—through the fall,”

Harrison believes this change is an improvement, despite being a year late, following significant turnover in the Marshall football program after head coach Charles Huff's departure.
