Looking forward to one of my favorite team camps at Marshall. It’s always a special one.

[Connor Balwanz @BalwanzConnor]

The NM Huskies are headed south to compete in the Marshall Team Basketball Camp this weekend. It’s a special trip for me because my Uncle Jason played football for @marshallu in the late 90’s, and earned a football scholarship as a walk-on. He was blessed to play with the likes of Randy Moss and Chad Pennington. In 2022 my Uncle J and his team were honored as being part of the 1996 undefeated conference and national champions in their final year as a 1-AA school. The atmosphere and energy of Marshall fans is incredible. My Uncle Jason has been an inspiration to me because of his encouragement and strong work ethic that I’ve been blessed to look up to.
