The month of June has been kind to Marshall football on the recruiting trail.

Earlier this month, the Herd received one of their more notable commitments in the form of in-state tight end Rhett McGrew from Hurricane. Their full class is now up to five commitments.

After a great talk with @CoachHuff I am blessed to say that I am 100% committed to Marshall University. I would like to thank my friends and family for supporting me, and most of all GOD for this opportunity! #AGTG pic.twitter.com/jTO2eeqcyT

McGrew was recently tabbed as the top tight end in the state of West Virginia for the 2024 season by West Virginia preps outlet Coalfields.org as well as by Prep Redzone West Virginia.

At 6'3" and 235 pounds, McGrew has the frame to become a regular part of Marshall's offense. In ten games last season per his MaxPreps page, McGrew caught 17 passes for 201 yards with three touchdowns.

Mcgrew, who also has experience at fullback, does not have a formal rating from any major service.
