Jalen Slappy anchors Marshall’s line as a durable, versatile road grader
In the 2026 season, Jalen Slappy enters as a redshirt senior and preseason Outland Trophy Watch List selection, after starting 25 straight games and helping Marshall’s offense finish top-25 in rushing in both 2024 and 2025. He’s a trusted interior mauler with rare positional flexibility, having played guard and tackle, and coaches praise him as a locker-room leader and consistent force. If you want a lineman who brings stability, toughness, and run-game punch, he’s your guy; if you need flash, look elsewhere.
