Marshall has dismissed one of its most-experienced defensive backs.
Thundering Herd coach Doc Holliday announced Friday that safety Tiquan Lang is no longer with the team “due to a violation of team rules and policies.”

Lang was a key member of the Herd’s secondary in 2015, but was arrested in May on multiple charges. According to the Huntington Herald-Dispatch, Lang was found asleep in a running vehicle and police found a firearm “partially concealed” under the front seat and Xanax in the center console. He was facing misdemeanor counts of driving under the influence, possession of a concealed deadly weapon and possession of a controlled substance.
He missed Marshall’s spring game following the arrest.
In three seasons with the program, Lang totaled 195 tackles, 15 pass breakups and four interceptions in 36 games. In 2015, he had 91 tackles and two interceptions, both of which were returned for touchdowns against Purdue.
