Taking time off Ali (undisclosed) is dealing with an undisclosed issue, and there is no expected timetable for his return, Grant Traylor of The Huntington Herald-Dispatch reports. Impact Marshall head coach, Charles Huff, didn't disclose much surrounding the issue, but stated that Ali would "be away from the team for some". The team has decided to keep the nature of the issue private out of respect for Ali. The sophomore running back had a massive breakout season for Marshall last season, totaling 1,401 rushing yards and 23 touchdowns, along with 46 receptions for 342 yards and 1 receiving touchdown. If Ali is unable to start the season, Sheldon Evans will likely handle a large role until he is able to return.
