In the 2012-13 school year and basketball season, 6-foot-4 freshman guard Austin Loop walked-on to the Marshall University men’s basketball team. Loop attended small South Webster High School in South Webster, Ohio where he graduated with approximately 60 classmates. He had offers to play basketball for Division II and Division III schools, but none from Division I schools. Loop decided he wanted to play Division I basketball and to have that experience, so he was able to walk-on for Marshall. He redshirted his freshman year at Marshall without high hopes of having the opportunity to get significant playing time.
Walk-On turned Record-Breaker
