In a surprising turn of events standout guard for the Marshall University men’s basketball team, has decided to withdraw from the transfer portal and will return to the Herd for the upcoming season. This announcement comes as a relief to both the coaching staff and the fans, who had feared the departure of the talented player.
Speer, who entered the transfer portal earlier this spring, had drawn significant attention from programs across the country. However, after careful consideration, the 6-foot-2 guard has chosen to remain at Marshall, where he has already made a strong impact in his previous seasons.
The return of Speer adds stability to an already talented roster that is gearing up for a competitive 2025 season. Known for his scoring ability and defensive tenacity, Speer averaged 12.4 points and 3.1 assists per game last season, helping the Herd to a strong finish in Conference USA.
Speer’s decision to withdraw from the portal comes as part of a growing trend in college basketball, with more players opting to return to familiar programs rather than transferring to new schools. The Herd will be hoping that Speer’s return is a catalyst for further success as they continue to build towards a championship-caliber team.
As Marshall prepares for the upcoming season, all eyes will be on Speer and his potential to lead the Herd to new heights. With his return, the Herd’s prospects look brighter than ever, and the Huntington faithful are eager to see what’s next for the dynamic guard.
