An open letter to the herd, fans, and community.
Dear Herd Family, Fans, and the Huntington Community.
As I sit down to write this letter, I am overcome with thanks and appreciation for the amazing support and love I have had during my time at Marshall University. It is a great honor to be a part of such an enthusiastic and committed community.
First and foremost, I would like to express my profound gratitude to Coach Huff and the entire coaching crew. Your advice, wisdom, and unfailing belief in me have helped me grow as a player and a person. You have given me the tools and courage to grow and flourish, and I am grateful. Your commitment to quality and dedication to each player’s success have created an environment in which we can all flourish.
I am thrilled to share the field with such a talented bunch of people. Your dedication, determination, and support have been an ongoing source of inspiration. The camaraderie and fraternity we share have made every moment on and off the field memorable. We’ve overcome obstacles, celebrated wins, and made lifelong memories together. I am proud to call you brothers and to be a part of this incredible team.
Our passionate fans’ passion and steadfast support are the program’s heartbeat. Your applause, chants, and enthusiasm fuel our determination and motivate us to give our all each game. Whether we play at Joan C. Edwards Stadium or on the road, your presence and excitement make a huge difference. Thank you for welcoming me and making Huntington feel like home.
Your resilience, vibrant attitude, and sense of community have served as sources of strength and inspiration for the whole Huntington community. I am honored to represent this beautiful city and its people. Your encouragement has been a pillar of my career, and I am determined to give back and make a positive difference in any way I can.
As we look ahead, I am filled with enthusiasm and resolve to continue striving for greatness alongside the Herd. Together, we will aim to achieve greater success and bring pride to our amazing town. Thank you for being a key part of my journey. Your support means everything to me.
With deepest thanks,
