Grant Goodrich, Sports Editor

Grant Goodrich is pursuing a degree in broadcast journalism with an emphasis in sports, as well as a minor in entrepreneurship. He has lived in Huntington, West Virginia his entire life, and Marshall athletics, especially football, was a major part of his childhood. Now, as a Marshall student, it is no surprise that he is heavily involved in athletics, which is illustrated by his position as sports editor and involvement with WMUL-FM 88.1. Sports have always been a mainstay in his life, and he hopes to keep it that way in the future.
