Marshall Offensive Line Gains a Big Boost With Van Horn Receiving A Sixth Year

Seeing the field in only three games in 2015, Clint Van Horn earned a reprieve from the NCAA Tuesday afternoon after learning he had been granted a sixth year of eligibility.

One of the biggest question marks surrounding Marshall football as it enters 2016 quickly turned into a giant exclamation point Tuesday afternoon when offensive lineman Clint Van Horn learned he was granted a sixth year of eligibility by the NCAA.

The 6-foot-5, 310-pound tackle played in only three games this season due to injuries. After playing 69 snaps in the Herd's season opener win over Purdue, Van Horn suffered an injury the next week at Ohio, one that he was never able to recover from.
