Marshall could feature tight end as kick returner

HUNTINGTON —

Which is a good thing. Even better with a group Marshall has trotted out in “KOR” segments.

Consider a three-man “wedge” of tight ends Ryan Yurachek and Emanuel Byrd, plus linebacker Shawn Petty. Behind them with the ball, 6-foot-3, 225-pound Kaleb Harris.

Three tight ends and a middle linebacker. You could call that a “jumbo” kickoff return unit.

Now, it’s too way too early to declare this an item, as Marshall is holding its eighth of 15 spring workouts Thursday. As far as the return man, Hyleck Foster is the player with the most return experience.
