Depth chart highlights

Here are some interesting notes from Marshall football’s depth chart, released Tuesday by head coach Mark Snyder. Mark Cann, of course, is the starting quarterback and will be protected by first team offensive tackles C.J. Wood and Ryan Tillman. Delvin Johnson, a 300-pound sophomore who impressed throughout preseason camp, has earned a starting defensive tackle spot. True freshman Ahmed Shakoor is listed as a second team cornerback.
