| The versatile Marshall is #2 in 2013 |
According to the Middletown Journal, 2013 5-star QB/ATH Jalin Marshall has committed to Ohio State. Marshall has said that playing for the Buckeyes is a "childhood dream". This gives Urban Meyer the 2nd commitment for the class of 2013, and this is a HUGE grab for Ohio State. Jalin Marshall is the #1 prospect in Ohio for 2013, as Urban is once again starting to build that fence around the Buckeye state.
Ranked as the nation’s top athlete and the No. 5 prospect overall, the 6-foot, 190-pound Marshall joins four-star safety Cameron Burrows in giving his word to Ohio State, choosing the Buckeyes over offers from the likes of Notre Dame and Tennessee. During the fall, Ohio State and Notre Dame were running even for Marshall’s services, but when former Irish assistant coach Tim Hinton left South Bend for a job with the Buckeyes, it tipped the scales in the home-state school’s favor.
As a junior, Marshall rushed for 1,972 yards and 20 touchdowns, and he also passed for 781 yards and six more scores. He will begin his Ohio State career as a quarterback, which is very important to him. Along the way, both the coaches and Marshall may decide his talents best fit at slot WR, where many hope they will see him don the scarlet and gray.
