Marshall won the Ohio Gatorade Football Player of the Year Award last season after rushing for almost 2,000 yards and scoring 34 total touchdowns for Cincinnati Archbishop Moeller. He is ranked 91st overall in the country, seventh among all running backs, and third-best in Ohio, according to 247Sports’ composite rankings. Marshall picked Michigan over several Power Five schools, including his home-state Ohio State and Cincinnati, as well as Michigan State, Tennessee, and Wisconsin.
