No other offensive position has been as successful as the tight ends for the Herd with Gator Hoskins leading the way. The agile Hoskins leads all tight ends with 28 career touchdowns and is third all time behind wide receivers Randy Moss and Darius Watts. As the Herd pushes toward its 2016 campaign, the question becomes, can the success at the position continue?
If there is one position that has been a staple of Marshall football over the past few seasons, one needs to look no farther than the tight ends. Greats such as Cody Slate, Gator Hoskins, Lee Smith and Eric Frohnapfel laid the foundation for one of the most consistent contributors to the Herd's offensive aerial attack.
