2007 recruits making the grade

Marshall football fans should receive a welcome surprise when players report to preseason camp on Wednesday. Nothing is certain, but it appears that virtually every member of the 2007 recruiting class is qualified academically and will join the team for Thursday’s 3:30 p.m. practice. This is especially significant along both sides of the line, where depth is needed. At least two defensive linemen and one on the offensive side likely will shed a redshirt.
