Spring practice impressions

So here are early impressions of spring practice. Wide receiver is upgraded in a big way, meaning improved quarterback play is even more important. The targets are there (including an impressive tight end trio) for Marshall’s offense to be anything but one-dimensional. Offensive line also is promising, mostly because of depth. Yes, Daniel Baldridge’s mobility and John Inman’s lack of size are concerns at tackle, but redshirt freshmen Brandon Campbell, Josh Evans and Chad Schofield are providing depth Marshall hasn’t enjoyed in recent memory. Sean McClellan looks to be more than a dependable longsnapper. Junior college defensive tackle Montel Glasco doesn’t exactly look the part in shorts and a T-shirt, but carries his pads well. Several practices have been open, so feel free to share your thoughts as well. I look forward to the feedback.
