Korliss Marshall is headed to...

[ams_sports]

...Eastern Illinois per his Facebook to play for Rogers native and former Razorback, Kim Dameron. Although I'm not certain, I would imagine he will be eligible this upcoming season and free to transfer to Div I following the season. After briefly skimming his coaching history, it is interesting to note that he was an assistant at Ole Miss while Hugh Freeze was on staff as a TE coach. I do not know if their is any relationship between the two, but I did find a transfer from OM to EI in 2014. Wish the best of luck Korliss in football and in life.

Eastern Illinois is a Division 1 - FCS school so he could not transfer back to a BCS without sitting out a year.  They play in the OVC.

[Tusks]

They're putting the band back together and I was going to wish them many L's until I saw that Dirt Winston is on the staff and he beat USCw almost by himself so I hope he gets out of there ASAP.

That is correct. Somehow missed they were FCS. Hmm.. Interesting move.

[Tim Harris]

That is correct. Somehow missed they were FCS. Hmm.. Interesting move.

Why interesting?  By going to the FCS level he can play immediately without having to sit out.

[MuskogeeHogFan]

That is correct. Somehow missed they were FCS. Hmm.. Interesting move.

It was an anticipated move for him.

[DukeOfPork]

I assumed he would go FCS. 

[#1 STUNNA]

Should have went to arkansas state or uca

[PorkRinds]

Should have went to arkansas state or uca

Unless he needed a change of scenery.

[MuskogeeHogFan]

Should have went to arkansas state or uca

Why? Because he is from Arkansas?

[Tim Harris]

He would have to sit out a year if he went to Arkansas St.

[ricepig]

He would have to sit out a year if he went to Arkansas St.

Maybe he was saying at the beginning?? Not that that would have probably helped him, anyway, get your life straightened out and good luck.

[DukeOfPork]

Yeah, ASU makes no sense.

[bigstyx]

I believe that makes Danny Nutt his position coach. Markuson and Dirt Winston on the staff. Dave Wommack's son is the Defensive Cooridinator. Lots of Razorback connections on that staff.

[gmarv]

well good for him hope it works out.

[ams_sports]

Interesting that he would go to EI if he were going the FCS route. Korliss was on his way to an official visit at UCA and was likely to commit when he got the call from Arkansas notifying him  about his offer. I guess I just assumed he would still have ties and would likely go the UCA route if he were to go FCS.

I called this a week after he didn't play in that last game.

You called him going to Eastern Illinois?

[arkansasrazorback]

You called him going to Eastern Illinois?

He did.  I remember that.  Someone did anyway.

[PorkRinds]

He did.  I remember that.  Someone did anyway.

That's impressive.

[yraciv]

Worked for Isiah Crowell after he got kicked off UGA.  Hope he gets his head straight, and turns out the same way.  And for those who worry about Danny, there is a Sonic 15 minutes down the street.

[Peter Porker]

Why? Because he is from Arkansas?

Because he needs to get away from Arkansas.

Wasn't Conque the coach then?  If so, this is a completely new staff at UCA.

You are correct. Also a closer drive to Charleston, IL from Osceola than it was to Fayetteville. FWIW

That's crazy....  We need a mountain hwy running right through N. AR...

They are working on this. It's called U.S. Hwy.  #412. 

[BoynamedWooPigSooie]

He's gonna be the spark that Varner needs in a couple years.  They'll finally get that inter-penitentiary playoff spot w/ KM toting the ball.

If he can stay out of trouble. And that'd a big if at this point.

Nicest "passing lanes" in the state.

[ricepig]

If they would just bypass Salem......

[(notOM)Rebel123]

Ha! Hey, you can't go North because of Salem Knob & you can't go south because of Salem International Airport. Just hope for a turning lane. Besides, why would you want to bypass Hillbilly U-Pump #2? They fry up some mean chicken strips & Jo-jo taters.

And here I thought Sonic was the place to eat, you learn something new on HV every day.

I called you a red headed liar, then I mapped it. I am sorry for calling you names.

Ha! No harm, no foul.

[jackflash]

I think this will be a one year deal. Look for him to make himself available for the NFL after next year.

[Beaverfever]

Kid is crazy talented.  Shame he never did big things here. 

[sowmonella]

Hopefully the wake up call was taken. Good luck to the young man. He has NFL potential. :razorback:

[Hawg_Thai'd]

I wish nothing but the best for the ol boy, but I pray that he takes this last bit of experience and realize that football can go away just like that. Whatever his demons are, I hope that he is able to refocus his life and concentrate on a life plan. Since it is free, I would also hope that he gets his degree. I am rooting for Korliss Marshall, the man, to put all the pieces together and be successful.

[ricepig]

He wanted to go to UCA, but we wouldn't release him to any in-state school.

[PharmacistHog]

I called this a week after he didn't play in that last game.

Congrats.  You win the thread.
