We're circling back on the guys who committed during football season. Marshall jumped in way back on August 13th, but that's when we went into preseason mode. It was also a few months after the commitment of fellow TE Deakon Tonielli, and the decommitment of TE Andrew Rappleyea a few months before that. Marshall was a guy Matt Weiss discovered while out in San Diego, and things moved quickly from there, with Marshall visiting for the barbecue, reporting an offer on July 31, and pledging shortly thereafter. He had a 1000+yard junior year as a receiver at lower-division Santa Fe Christian before switching to TE and moving up to local power Carlsbad, where he was just one of many targets of 5-star 2024 Alabama commit Julian Sayin.

Links are to profiles Rivals recently moved Marshall up to a 5.7 and inside the top-40 in California. On3 has him on the cusp of 4 stars. The skeptics are 247, who has him ranked as an Athlete, and ESPN, who has him ranked as not going to the SEC. 247 hasn't really put a scout's eyes on him since before that junior season except when he was visiting Michigan for the MSU game, at which point Biggens noted Marshall's gotten way bigger. He might be a candidate for a re-rank but I doubt it. [AFTER THE JUMP: Athletic athlete who athletes]
