AD Harrison Excited About Future of Marshall Athletics

Marshall Director of Athletics Gerald Harrison is optimistic about the future of the Thundering Herd, despite challenges in the rapidly changing world of college athletics.

“That puts us in a little bit of a crunch to get student-athletes here before the drop/add date, but we do know that whatever team we have at that point in January, we know that’s the team that we will field—more than likely the majority of them—through the fall,”

Harrison cited new rules, including a single transfer portal window for college football players in January, as beneficial for the team. He noted that the change may be a year too late, but still marks an improvement after significant turnover in the Marshall football program.

Harrison addressed the university’s Board of Governors, emphasizing that the Herd won't back down from challenges. Author summary: Harrison is positive about Marshall's future in changing athletics landscape.
