Herd linebacker Young’s presence felt in debut

Junior linebacker Juwon Young enters the field at Jerry Richardson Stadium in Charlotte, North Carolina for his first game in a Thundering Herd uniform after serving a suspension for the first four games of the year.

Marshall football gained a key piece of its defense back prior to kick off against the Charlotte 49ers in linebacker Juwon Young, a transfer from Miami (Fla.).

Young was suspended for the first four games this season for violating department rules while with the Hurricanes in June 2016.

“He’s had no issues here at all, but when he transferred here, that part with Miami carried over,” Herd head coach Doc Holliday said in his preseason press conference in August.
