The rebuild of the Marshall men’s basketball roster continues.
For the Herd, the latest additions by way of the transfer portal are former North Carolina State forward Colt Langdon, former Tulane forward Luke Rasmussen and ex-Elon guard DeMarco Johnson.
Langdon, a 6-foot-7 forward, has had an extended route to Huntington. He is the all-time leading scorer at Millbrook High School in Raleigh, N.C., and originally attended Butler after reclassifying to start college a year early. He redshirted during his lone season with the Bulldogs before moving on to play for the hometown Wolfpack.
Langdon played in only six games last season, scoring two points and grabbing one rebound.
Langdon made 182 three-pointers in his stellar three-year high school career that finished with 1,758 points, including 738 as a junior.
The 6-8 Rasmussen averaged 2.6 points and 1.8 rebounds across 17 games last season at Tulane. He started 11 games in 2025-26 for the Green Wave.
Rasmussen is a native of Haverford, Pa., and began his collegiate career at Lafayette.
Johnson is a 6-4 guard from Long Beach, Ca., by way of Oak Hill Academy in Virginia. He played in 30 games at Elon as a freshman last season, averaging three points, 2.3 rebounds and 2.4 assists over 15.3 minutes. He also amassed 26 steals and 10 blocks.
Johnson played in Huntington against Marshall last November and finished with three steals and eight assists while missing his only field-goal attempt in what amounted to a 96-89 Herd victory.
As for players who left the Marshall program, Landen Johnson has moved on to Dayton; Shemarrie Hugie is at Austin Peay; Caleb Hollenback is at Tennessee Tech; Drew Fuquay has landed at Western Kentucky; and Ryan Nutter is at Lincoln Memorial.
