Q&A: Marshall Newhouse OL TCU

What is your official height, weight and max bench?
At the combine I was 6-3 7/8 and 319 pounds.  My bench was 25 reps.

What do you consider to be your biggest strength?
My speed, power and my intelligence.

What part of your game have you worked on improving?
Getting to the second level of my blocks and taking on linebackers.

If a scout asked what tape would you give him to see you at your best?
Two games stick out the game in 2008 against Oklahoma and this past year against Wyoming.

What your thoughts on transitioning from tackle to guard?
I am good with it and am actually working at playing all five positions on the line.

Which coach has had the biggest impact on your playing career up to this point?
My offensive line coach, Eddie Williamson, he has been a great coach and a terrific mentor.

Who was your favorite player or team growing up?
As a kid I was a big Dallas Cowboys fan (my dad’s cousin Robert played for them in the 70's and 80's) but as I got older I start watching players like Walter Jones and Damien Woody.

What do you like to do with your free time, do you have a hobby?
Right now I’m just catching up on some school work in order to graduate.

Who are the two most influential people in your life?
My parents.  I’ve been blessed to have two of the most supportive parents any person could hope for.

How was the combine experience?
I liked it a lot.  It something that I never experienced before and won’t ever again.  Something I’m certain I will never forget.

What teams did you speak with at the combine?
A lot of teams.  I spoke with Oakland, Kansas City, New Orleans, Denver, Atlanta, and both New York teams just to name a few.

The college game day tradition I will most is?
The Frog Horn and the friendships I formed during my time at TCU.  College is about playing a game you loved while professional football is a job.
