  Draft Scout by Conference









  Marshall players were asked Monday to name a player that they couldn't wait to see in a game scenario this week. As it turned out, the answers were the same whether asking offensive or defensive players. That player? Strong safety Derrek Pitts, who is listed on the depth chart as a starter for the Thundering Herd's opener Saturday against Eastern Kentucky. As teammates pointed out, Pitts is listed as a starter for good reason. "He's just been flying around, he's been aggressive - a ballhawk," Marshall senior defensive back Nazeeh Johnson said. "I want to see him come down here and make some plays."

Johnson has the benefit of being in the same position room as Pitts, which means they get to break down film of opponents and themselves each day. However, the truest compliments come from those on the offensive side of the ball, who say the 6-foot, 187-pound Dunbar native is an absolutely nightmare to face in practice. "He's able to cover the field so well," Marshall running back Brenden Knox said. "He's shown that through camp and stuff - his ability to cover from sideline to sideline and cover a lot of ground. That's really difficult to do in the position he's at. I feel like he's excelled at that and shown it consistently over practice." - Charleston Gazette
