THE STORY BEHIND HERD BROTHERS
​
For our founder, Jared Turner, brotherhood has been a defining part of his life.
He first experienced it as a Marshall football player, where teammates became family through sacrifice, trust, hard work, and a shared commitment to something bigger than themselves.
​
After football, Jared continued a life of service through law enforcement and later traveled to Iraq in support of the United States military. Less than 20 days before returning home, Jared was severely injured by an IED blast—an experience that changed his life forever.
​
When Jared came home, he was reminded of the strength of the brotherhood he had built at Marshall. His former teammates and the Marshall family rallied around him, offering support, friendship, and encouragement during one of the most difficult periods of his life.
​
That experience reinforced something Jared had learned years earlier on the football field:Â true brotherhood does not end when the game is over.
That belief helped inspire Herd Brothers—an organization built to reconnect the Marshall football family, honor those who built its legacy, and turn the lifelong bonds created through football into meaningful purpose.
​
The game may end. The mission may change. But brotherhood remains.
​
ONE HERD. ONE FAMILY. FOREVER BROTHERS.
