Marshall was previously committed to the Minnesota Gophers. He announced his decision to play there back on June 16th. He took an official visit to Georgia Tech back on November 9th. He also had one last visit to Houston. Coach McKenzie and the Yellow Jackets continued their pursuit of Marshall and didn’t stop recruiting him until signing day.

According to 247Sports Composite, Marshall is rated as a three-star prospect. He is ranked as the No. 44 RB, the No. 71 player in Georgia, and No. 577 nationally. Marshall held offers from Liberty, USF, Houston, Minnesota, Georgia Tech, Appalachian State, James Madison, and Georgia Southern.

He is a physical back that bounces off tacklers and has the explosive speed to get to the second level of the defense. Once he hits the second level, he uses his burst to break away from defenders. He welcomes contact and is tough to bring down in the open field. Marshall is also a threat in the receiving game and has 162 receiving yards this year. He is having a career year for the Indians this season. During his junior season, he ran the 100M in track, posting a time of 11.4, per Milesplit.

Marshall will play in the semifinals against a state title contender this year when they face Bowdon this Friday. He has been a big part of the offense and this season he has rushed for 1,817 yards and 28 touchdowns. He is averaging 140 yards per game. One of his best games came in a quarterfinal win over Trion. Marshall rushed for 200 yards and two touchdowns. He has scored a touchdown in every game this year except in the season opener against Fitzgerald.

This is another big pickup for the Yellow Jackets as they have now bolstered their running back room. Georgia Tech also has Isaiah Groves and JP Powell in the 2025 class coming in at running back.
