In life, no matter how great an individual might be at what they’re doing and how hard they push themselves at it, often things end up not panning out the way they are planned.
For Dekota Marshall, a three-year starting defensive back at East Carolina from the 2006-08 seasons, that’s what happened, and he remembers exactly when too.
“My leg snapped in half on November 5, 2009 against Virginia Tech on that Thursday night game,” Marshall said. “After that I didn’t play anymore college ball whatsoever.”
A redshirt junior at the time, Marshall would experience the gruesome pain of his tibia and his fibula both snapping in half.
