Marshall Faulkis reportedly adding to his resume.
After being off the gridiron for nearly two decades following his Hall of Fame career, Faulk joinedDeion Sanders’ staff at Coloradoas the team’s running backs coach.
But just one season later, reports say he is expected to jump to Southern University, a HBCU [Historically Black Colleges and Universities] institution in his home state of Louisiana.WAFB was the firstto report the news.

Faulktold ESPNin August that he “would not even try” coaching if it weren’t for Sanders himself.
“This wasn’t even on my list of things to do in the least way.I put crazy hours in when I played, like player and coach’s hours in, to become the student of the game that I was.And when I walked away from it, I couldn’t believe how much time I invested into the game,” Faulk said.
If and when the move is official, Faulk will join several other former NFL stars to become head coaches at HBCUs.Michael Vick is the head coach at Norfolk State in his home state of Virginia, and DeSean Jackson started coaching at Delaware State this season.Neither had any prior coaching experience.
