HUNTINGTON, W.Va. (AP) — Marshall freshman backup quarterback Blake Frohnapfel has undergone arthroscopic surgery on his throwing shoulder, leaving the Thundering Herd with one healthy quarterback.
Media outlets report Frohnapfel had surgery Monday. Frohnapfel’s availability is undetermined for a bowl game if Marshall (6-6) is selected.
Freshman Rakeem Cato started the final two games of the regular season in place of A.J. Graham, who underwent season-ending shoulder surgery.
Cato has started eight games this season.
Backup quarterback Eddie Sullivan quit the team earlier this month.
Marshall wide receiver Jermaine Kelson was a quarterback in high school.
