Recruiting Story

Marshall was originally Sherrone Moore’s first commit after he became head coach when he pledged in April 2024. However, Auburn started to get involved via NIL and though Marshall eschewed the efforts of the Tigers originally, he ultimately ended up flipping in August. But the Wolverines apparently, behind the scenes, continued working on Marshall, as he flipped back to Michigan football the day before early signing day.

Readiness Level

Could contribute in year one in the EDGE rotation or could bulk up and potentially become a factor on the interior in year two.

Notes

  • Committed Dec. 3, 2024
  • Originally committed to Michigan football in April 2024 before flipping to Auburn in August.
  • Also plays basketball and has had plays as a wildcat quarterback

Scouting report

The scouting report from 247Sports’ Allen Trieu:

Has a background that includes basketball and offense, where he sometimes splits way out wide and can be effective playing from that spot. Carries that athleticism over to defense where he is comfortable in space and pursuit. Can change directions and chase down plays. Shows motor and does not give up on plays. Shifts from outside to inside and has played up and down the line. Carries his weight very well so could continue to pack on pounds and be a combo guy in college. Does not currently have bad weight. Long-term projection is likely most likely as a five-tech but that depends on physical development. Combo of athleticism and versatility make him a high-end prospect. Has to continue developing from a technical standpoint with his hands and get stronger, but he looks like he will be a starter for high-major program and has the baseline tools to play beyond college.
