Johnson making his move

Josh Johnson gradually is working his way into Marshall’s defensive lineup. The Herd’s most physically-imposing linebacker worked extensively with the first team defense during Wednesday afternoon’s practice. The 6-foot-3, 255-pound sophomore shared snaps with Brandon Souder in the middle. Other news of note included John Inman’s move to left guard, where starter David Ziegler is sidelined with a sore shoulder. Inman, who started the final seven games of last season at right guard, has been backing up Brian Leggett on the right side.
