Jamal Marshall

Jamal is a nice young prospect in the 2021 recruiting class. He has a lot of versatility playing safety, wide receiver, and even a little running back. He is a solid athlete that is quick, shifty and changes direction well. As a safety, he loves to walk up and blitz off the edge and has a good burst getting to the quarterback. He is good against stopping the run on the outside and has the range to cut off runs before they turn up field. He is thin but sticks his nose in coming down hill. He does well covering the slot in passing situations but does need to tighten up his technique. As a receiver, he is a playmaker that can turn a short pass into a 15-20 yard gain. He doesn’t have the elite speed but will improve over the next two years as he gets stronger and more explosive. Group 5 to low Power 5 projection.
