Marshall Football Preview 2025: How Fast Can the Thundering Herd Rebuild?
How do you go from what Marshall pulled off in 2024 to a complete and total rebuild that fast?The Herd got red hot, ripped through a relatively weak conference slate, won the game it had to pull off at James Madison, and shut down Louisiana cold for a 31-3 victory for the Sun Belt ten-win season was the first since the Doc Holliday days of 2015, and then head coach Charles Huff took the Southern Miss job. Almost everyone jumped into the portal, there weren't enough guys around to play the bowl game, and now Marshall is starting from scratch. 52-year-old Tony Gibson has never been a head coach. He comes in after spending the last six seasons as NC State's defensive coordinator, and yeah, he might have to work his way into the not his fault. At last count, over 25 players had left through the portal. It could come together fast. If the running game finds a groove right away, the schedule is manageable enough to come up with a shocker of a strong first campaign under 0-12 wouldn't be a total stunner, either, considering it's not just about the new faces, there's woefully little overall time logged in at the FBS level among the protected starters. Marshall Thundering Herd Preview 2025: Offense X CFN, Fiu | CFN Facebook | Bluesky Fiu, CFN- Welcome to the Jacksonville State Thundering Herd. Former Gamecock offensive coordinator Rod Smith made the move over to Marshall after helping to lead one of the nation's most interesting and dangerous attacks. This is all starting from scratch, but … - They have a few nice quarterbacks. Zion Turner was in the Jax State system last year, but didn't play much. Carlos Del Rio-Wilson (Syracuse) is a dangerous option who'll get every shot at the job with the all-around skills to step in right away. For comparison, last year's Gamecock quarterback Tyler Huff ran for 1,344 yards and 15 scores, and … - This system will hammer the hot running back. Tre Stewart led Jacksonville State with 1,638 yards and 25 touchdowns, and now it's up to Michael Allen (UNLV) and Jo'Shon Barbie (McNeese State) to combine forces. Both averaged over five yards per carry last season for their respective schools. - There's more continuity on the offensive line than anywhere else on the team, at least in the interior with Logan Osburn back at center and Jalen Slappy a veteran guard to work around. 348-pound Shunmarkus Adams should be set at the other guard spot. The tackles are coming from the portal - 6-9, 356-pound Tyler McDuffie (Hampton) should be the best of the lot.- The Herd have a star in tight end Toby Payne - he needs the ball more. He tied for the team lead with six touchdown catches, but all of the other receivers of note are gone. Demarcus Lacey (Jacksonville State) has speed on the outside. 6-3, 200-pound Antonio Harmon got in a little work at Mississippi State, and Ben Turner (West Liberty) is a quick inside target. Marshall Thundering Herd Preview 2025: Defense - There's no replacing the pass rush that was so good last year. 17-sack Mike Green is a Baltimore Raven, and just about everyone else who came up with a sack is gone. Paul Hutson (Campbell) is a big end coming in, but it's the inside that has to shine right away.335-pound KaTron Evans (Charlotte), 330-pound Tyas Martin (Jackson State), Jamaal Whice (South Carolina) and Jalil Rivera-Harvey (Arizona State) bring the bulk.- There isn't much experience among the new linebackers, but Javae Gilmore (Mississippi State) is a big body for the interior, and quick Jibreel Al-Amin (Jacksonville State) made 23 tackles in a rotation. - The secondary caught a bit of a break when Jadarius Green-McKnight chose to come back. The safety made 38 tackles with a pick-six, corner Daytione Smith got in a little time, and everyone else is from the portal. Most of the new parts are nice prospects without a ton of proven production, but safety Boogie Trotter (Tennessee State) should be a statistical star coming off a 62-tackle season. Corner Marvae Myers-Glover (Middle Tennessee) started his college career in 2019, and made 41 stops and broke up four passes last season. Marshall Thundering Herd Key to the Season Get the running game working right offense won't be smooth, but as long as the experienced interior and huge tackles can blast away, the quick backfield should control games a bit on the ground. Time of possession won't be on the Herd's side, so … Marshall Thundering Herd Key Player Katron Evans, DT goes for all the giant new defensive tackles. This gets ugly fast if the Herd can't hold up against the run, and that's where the 335-pound Charlotte transfer comes in. He needs to be an anchor. Marshall Thundering Herd Top Transfer, Biggest Transfer Loss Top Transfer In: Michael Allen, RB throw in Jo'Shon Barbie from McNeese State. Give Allen and Barbie a little bit of room, and these two should be able to rip off yards in chunks. They're both quick backs - Allen looked good when he had his chances at UNLV - and should take over a game or Transfer Out: Christian Fitzpatrick, WR your pick of any one of the bazillion transfers who might be the most important. Fitzpatrick has the 6-4 size, the deep speed, and the production with a 34-catch, six-touchdown grab season for the Herd, averaging 17 yards per play. Now he's at Oklahoma State. Marshall Thundering Herd Key Game at Middle Tennessee, Sept. 20How far do the Herd have to go to be decent? The hope is to get past Missouri State and Eastern Kentucky to get to 2-1, and if there's a win over Middle Tennessee on the road in the Sun Belt opener, this could be a surprise team.- 2025 Marshall Schedule Breakdown Marshall Thundering Herd Top 10 Players 1.

There will be a win over Eastern Kentucky early on, maybe there's some success against Missouri State, and things will start to get better as the season moves on. It's hard to see the Herd as a major favorite over anyone in Sun Belt play, but there's a chance this changes big one way or another in a real The Marshall Thundering Herd Win Total At … 3.5Likely Wins: Eastern Kentucky50/50 Games: at App State, at Coastal Carolina, at Georgia Southern, Georgia State, at Middle Tennessee, Missouri State, Old Dominion, Texas StateLikely Losses: at Georgia, James Madison, at Louisiana © 2025 The Arena Group Holdings, Inc.

Wisconsin-Whitewater wins DIII title by turning College World Series field into paste
Wisconsin-Whitewater wins DIII title by turning College World Series field into paste It's been a remarkable year for lower-level college baseball powerhouses. Last week, LSU-Shreveport capped off a historic 59-0 season with an NAIA championship. The University of Wisconsin-Whitewater wasn't quite as dominant at the Division III level. Until it mattered most. The Warhawks, perhaps better known for their football dynasty in the late 2000s and early 2010s, ran absolute roughshod over the competition at the Division III College World Series. UW-Whitewater's 21-5 win over Messiah University Wednesday afternoon -- an extremely Division III time to hold a national title game -- capped off a furious run through the eight-team field. The Warhawks scored a World Series record 74 runs in five games. Their opponents? 19. That's right, Wisconsin-Whitewater's title run was so ridiculous it outscored the Division III College World Series runner-up Messiah -- another scorching-hot team -- 39-8 in two games. The Warhawks' third national championship scattered a pile of wreckage in its wake. After taking a deciding game three in Super Regional action against WIAC rival Wisconsin-Oshkosh 10-0, Whitewater could barely be contained in Eastlake, Ohio. Their World Series opener against Trinity University was marred by cold weather and suspended mid-game. That 7-3 victory was as close as any opponent would get. Wins by the count of 11-4, 17-4 and 18-3 paved the way for Wednesday's beatdown. Every regular starter in the lineup finished with at least one RBI in the title clinching game and at least three on the week. While that wasn't enough to outpace the entire DIII College World Series field, meant the Warhawks generated more than 35 percent of the total runs from the eight-team bracket (74 of 211). They scored 30 more runs than the only other team to play five games in Ohio this year. This was a loss for fans of competitive baseball, but a wonderful outcome for everyone who likes watching missiles rocket off aluminum bats in front of a rapt crowd of dozens during a work day.

Warriors hosting trio of players for pre-draft workout
Warriors hosting trio of players for pre-draft workout Warriors hosting a pre-draft workout Tuesday: — Sam Gordon (@BySamGordon) June 2, 2025 Draft month is officially here. In just a couple of weeks, Mike Dunleavy Jr. and Steve Kerr are set to be on the clock for the Golden State Warriors in the second round of the 2025 edition of the NBA draft. Before Kerr and Dunleavy Jr. lock in their only pick in the 2025 draft, the Golden State Warriors are hosting a trio of prospects at San Francisco's Chase Center for a pre-draft workout. Duke's Sion James, Gonzaga's Ryan Nembhard and Appalachian State's CJ Huntley are the players set to work out in San Francisco on Tuesday, according to Sam Gordon of the San Francisco Chronicle. While earning a spot on the ACC All-Defensive team alongside top prospect Cooper Flagg at Duke, James averaged 8.6 points on 51.6% shooting from the field to go along with 4.2 rebounds and 2.9 assists in 39 games. After two seasons at Creighton, Nembhard transferred to Gonzaga for his final two seasons of college hoops, earning All-WCC honors in both campaigns. Nembhard led Mark Few's squad at point guard, averaging 10.5 points on 44.6% shooting from the field and 40.4% from beyond the arc. Nembhard added 9.8 assists and three rebounds per game. Nembhard notched 10 or more assists in 19 different games last season for Gonzaga, including a 16-assist performance against San Francisco at Chase Center. Nembhard's brother, Andrew, is getting ready to play in the NBA Finals with the Indiana Pacers. Gonzaga's Ryan Nembhard is a dream point guard for teammates to play alongside in a Combine setting with his tremendous feel, vision and unselfishness. Rightfully earned the callup to the big show, making a strong case for two-way consideration. — Jonathan Givony (@DraftExpress) May 13, 2025 Huntley played all five seasons at App State, earning All-Sun Belt honors in as a senior in 2024-25. The 6-foot-11 big man averaged a career-best 15.7 points and 8.1 rebounds per game last season. Prior to hosting James, Nembhard and Huntley, the Warriors hosted another group of prospects earlier in draft season. UCLA's Kobe Johnson, St. John's RJ Luis and Mizzou's Tamar Bates were some of the players to visit Chase Center for a pre-draft workout. The Warriors have the next three weeks to prepare for the start of the NBA draft on June 25 in Brooklyn, New York at Barclays Center.
