HUNTINGTON Ƶ The recruitment of Troy Brown is one of the more fascinating tales in the history of a football program filled with astonishing stories.

Marshall University offensive line coach Chris Scelfo went to Banner Elk, North Carolina, in search of a blocker. While at Lees-McRae Junior College, though, he didnƵt see much that excited him until he walked into the schoolƵs gym. Shortly after taking a seat in the bleachers, in walked Brown. Scelfo watched Brown play basketball and was impressed with his athleticism, quickness and leadership.
