Marshall said he chose Nebraska because of the potential of growth for both his game and the Husker program under Coach Mark Hankins. “I went on several recruiting visits and got to meet a lot of people, but there was something different about Coach Hankins,” Marshall said. “He’s a winner who has had a lot of success in the past and will continue that at Nebraska. I also loved the facilities and resources offered by the school. I just want to soak up all the information I can from the coaching staff and the veteran players on the team. I’m really excited to be around more high-level players and compete for a spot in the lineup at Nebraska.”
