Early life and high school edit

Marshall grew up in Missouri City, Texas and attended Thurgood Marshall High School.[2] He focused solely on basketball and did not play football until his junior year.[3] In his first season, Marshall caught 45 passes for 1,009 yards and 18 touchdowns.[4] He played in seven games as a senior and had 15 receptions for 466 yards and scored 11 touchdowns.[5] After the season, Marshall played in the 2022 All-American Bowl.[6] He was rated a four-star recruit and committed to play college football at Texas A&M after considering offers from Alabama and USC.[7][8] Marshall was later re-rated as a five-star recruit.[9]

College career edit

Marshall enrolled at Texas A&M in July 2022.[10] Marshall was suspended along with three other players for the Aggies' game against Miami.[11] Marshall was suspended again, for an indefinite period of time, along with two other players following a violation of team rules.[12] He had originally planned to play basketball for Texas A&M after the end of the football season, but was left off the roster by coach Buzz Williams after the second suspension was announced.[13] Following the end of the season Marshall entered the NCAA transfer portal.[14]

Marshall ultimately transferred to Ole Miss but was dismissed from the team in May of 2023 before playing a game, for what Coach Lane Kiffin deemed a "violation of team rules."[15][16] Marshall later enrolled at Kilgore College.[17]
