WVU football lands DL Marcus Coleman

The WVU football team landed a verbal commitment from Marcus Coleman over the weekend. The Maryland native is listed at 6-foot-5, 290 pounds. He will be a key cog for the Mountaineers and, hopefully, a mean sacking machine.

He is the first defensive lineman to commit to the WVU football team in the Class of 2017. The Mountaineers could certainly use any defensive help as the coaching staff is still juggling some areas of need for the upcoming season.

Depending on how this campaign shakes out, as talented seniors Noble Nwachukwu, Larry Jefferson, Darrien Howard and Christian Brown will graduate.
