Signing day surprises

Signing day is just hours away and there must be some back-slapping going on in the Shewey Building. Marshall closed on nearly every one of its most sought-after prospects, a rarity in the odd world of college football recruiting. Expect a couple of surprises on Wednesday when a pair of big-time linemen (one on offense, another on defense) are expected to don Marshall hats during their National Signing Day press conferences. Please check with this blog and for updates at www.herald-dispatch.com throughout Wednesday for updates.
