Marshall is a hard hitting free safety and coming into his own as a dynamic wideout for the Oscar Smith Tigers and his impact has already been felt. This young man has a nose for the football and can deliver a nasty punch from his safety position. It will be interesting to watch his development this year for the Tigers, he is the type of player that you cannot take off the field.rnrnhttps://www.hudl.com/video/3/17985362/633b5eca02b1750618396848","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_1_player":["212457"],"_player_evaluations_1_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_1_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_1_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_1_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_1_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"Not too far behind Marshall in our rankings is Maury's [player_tooltip player_id='212457' first='Jahvon' last='Wiggins'], you will not forget his name after this fall.

The Commodores sophomore to be is blowing up with offers already from Virginia Tech, Maryland and East Carolina and more are coming.
