Marshall picks up Penn State transfer Thomas

Posted: Updated:
HUNTINGTON (AP) -

Cornerback Derrick Thomas has transferred from Penn State to Marshall.
    
Marshall coach Doc Holliday announced Thomas' transfer Thursday.
    
Thomas, a junior, will be eligible to play this season because of the NCAA's penalties against Penn State following the Jerry Sandusky child sex abuse case.
    
The 6-foot, 181-pound Thomas made four tackles in nine games at Penn State last season.
