Thanks.

Had a knock to his shoulder and they allowed him to go home the day before to rehab it before the combine starts.

Why didn't he play in the Shrine game?

A good day today, and @BlueTornadoLive grad Devon Johnson could see #NFLDraft stock rise.

great state

I wish nothing but the best for this young man.  I have always enjoyed watching Marshall play, ever since the days of Randy Moss when they visited ETSU.  I enjoyed watching Bradshaw run the rock at Marshall. I really like watching local kids succeed.  Hopefully he can continue his career once it is over at Marshall.

Through 3 quarters, Devon has 11 carries for 104 yards and a TD. Solid first game so far.

Daily Mail Sportsâ€@SportsDailyMailAug 28 How did Devon Johnson work his way to the top of #TheHerd depth chart? http://www.charlestondailymail.com/article/20140827/DM03/140829275/1278 …

From what I saw of MU last season they really want to throw, makes sense to have him at RB(great blocker) and can pound the ball. Glad for him, always seemed like a great young man

...

13th in the country in rushing through 2 games

Congrats on the good season. Already looking forward to next year. I would be honored to be on that coaching staff an learn from the great minds like Mance. Would help me tremendously in future endeavors.

We were beaten by a very good Appo Team and have nothing to be ashamed about . We are the # 2 team  in 2A .We were not at full strength against Appo ,but even if we had been ,it was still a stretch to win the game.We need to remember that not one of us wanted to win today as much as the Kids and the Coaches did. We will be good again in'17as will Appo, ,Union, Gate City ,[i am speaking collectively here] one of us  can outpoint the Raiders and let them enjoy the trip to SWVA.-Our Home.PS -If you feel an urge to criticize the Blues or the Coaches-Will you apply for  a coaching job if a vacancy occurs?

Most of GC's "players" are underclassmen. McClung (JR), Ervin (SOPH), and the Dean kid (FRESH). I think they have three seniors on the team and only one gets substantial playing time. 

How are the teams from SWVA going to be this year?

Thanks for the post.  Congrats to Devon, and pulling for The Thundering Herd!

By A.J. Good, WVVA Sports Director   http://www.wvva.com/story/29645442/2015/07/27/johnson-looking-for-another-great-year-at-marshall   Coach Holliday has a "sense of humor"...   excerpt:   About a year ago Marshall head coach Doc Holliday needed a spark at the running back position so he turned to tight end Devon Johnson, which turned out to be one of the best decisions he's ever made.  "I wanted guys I could count on.  I wanted guys that football was important to them and they were tough to provide some leadership in that room.  I'm not real smart as a coach.  I should've done that about two years ago but I'm a slow learner."
