Marshall Faulk question for the old timers

[Canesfan1899]

I remember hearing that Marshall Faulk wanted to be a Cane back in the day but we wanted him at corner. For you guys following recruiting back then was he truly interested and if so who was the coach that wanted him at corner?

Every p4 team wanted him at corner.
The only coach that promised him to be a running back was the sdsu.
It was Erickson.
He also said that Miami was his favorite team and that he would’ve committed on the spot if we offered him at running back.

Thanks, remembered pieces of the story. Wonder where he would’ve landed on the greats of canes RB’s.

All I remember is him carving us up in ‘91 as a freshman.

Also, I think we recruited Steve McNair as a DB.

Some of our guys squaring up with the Aztec mascot.
Lol.

I believe Curtis Johnson was SDSU's tie to Louisiana.
He later coached our WRs.

Wow. Would’ve thought maybe at LB.

But to be fair Falk was the baddest DB in the country he had 11 ints his senior year and housed 6 of em TD’s
