Nebraska Offer a 'Huge Blessing' for WR Justin Marshall
In an exclusive interview with Hail Varsity, Marshall talked about his senior season, his reaction to receiving an offer from Nebraska and where his recruiting process currently stands.
Just spoke with Justin Marshall
Just got off the phone with Louisville WR commit Justin Marshall, who received a Nebraska offer Sunday afternoon. Wow, what a well-spoken kid, you can tell that he has been through the interview process a few times before.A couple of interesting things from our chat: Marshall is not a teammate of Jeremiah Holloman and Jaquan Henderson as I stated earlier. Prior to the season, he transferred to Georgia Prep Sports Academy, one of the top prep schools in the nation. Marshall was the youngest member of the team, but still played a key role in helping the Lions win their conference title.Marshall was not expecting a Nebraska offer, but is now planning to visit Nebraska before signing day. I think the timing of Marshall's offer (right after Hodgin's commitment to Oregon State) means that Marshall is now Nebraska's backup plan if Joseph Lewis ends up committing to Oregon or Oklahoma instead of Nebraska. Also, he could be a message to Los Angeles wide receiver Jamire Calvin, a supposed silent commit since the spring game, to either make his decision or hit the bricks.I'm a fan of Marshall's game. He reminds me alot of Isaiah Hodgins (big, lean receiver with deceptive quickness in the open field) but I don't think he is as polished and may need a redshirt year to harness his athletic gifts. You can watch his junior film here, he said he will have his senior highlights up sometime this week.http://www.hudl.com/video/3/3800227/5721e9484df6124b70343874
