    HUNTINGTON – Arnold Blackmon has heard about size all his life. He has come to understand that size doesn’t always really size up the man.

    “All my life, people have said I was undersized,” said Blackmon, one of Marshall’s two junior college football signees last week. “Sometimes, they’d even say I was overweight. But size hasn’t mattered to me.

    “I think the No. 1 thing about me is the fact that I work hard all the time, offseason, during the season. I have hard work just hard-wired into me. Always have. I never give up.”

    That’s probably what Thundering Herd Coach Doc Holliday wants to hear from a player he expects to be relentless as a potential fix for the Herd’s pass rush on a defense that’s looking for a boost and a new coordinator.

  • Yep, if you have to coach effort, you probably don't have a player...  I like the way he talks!

    Welcome to Huntington!

  • He'll be in class within a couple weeks; welcome to MU Mr. Blackmon.  Get that engineering degree you want, a few sacks per game along the way.

  • I think we have been seriously short of "hungry" FB players. We need some fire/intensity. Where are the guys who "refuse to lose"?

    We all have our theories as to why that situation exists. The talent level is pretty high.

  • dont know their upside but we have Blackmon and....Myers, Bazzie, Taylor, Daniels, Jefferson, Massaquoi, Gilchrist and Rouse. Thats nine DEs.....hope a couple of them can rush the passer. In addition we have Aiken and Sparrow, Dillon and Samuel, Smith and Brown for interior duty. Seems like a lot of depth for the DL......if there is talent!
