“As a result of contracting covid-19, and its continued, current complications, I have made the decision to opt out of the 2020 football season. This is a tough decision, but one that was made with prayer and consideration. I appreciate the support, understanding and guidance my coaches have shown me while working through this decision.
“I wish my teammates the very best this year and I am believing for a great season. I am extremely thankful to be a part of the Auburn family and look forward to coming back next year stronger and better than ever. War Eagle.”
Marsh recorded one solo tackle and one assist during the 2019 season. He joins fellow linebacker Chandler Wooten and defensive back Traivon Leonard in deciding to sit out the 2020 season.
