Dennis Thornton brings proven linebacker production and playmaking to Marshall
Thornton profiles as a productive, disruptive **linebacker** for Marshall, with career-level impact showing up in tackles for loss, sacks, and takeaway production. ESPN lists him with **69 solo tackles, 6 sacks, 1 forced fumble, and 3 interceptions**, while Marshall’s roster notes he once led the Herd with **104 total tackles** and **10 TFL** in a season, highlighting a defender who can finish plays and create negative-yardage moments[1][2]. He fits teams that want an instinctive, physical linebacker with a strong nose for the ball rather than just a stat-sheet tackler[2][3].
