As a former four-star from Clinch County High School, Marshall helped the Bulldogs to back-to-back College Football Playoff National Championships in 2021 and 2022. He suffered a knee injury in 2021 — playing in four of 15 games — but Marshall played 14 of 15 games last season. The 6-foot-1, 236-pound linebacker recorded 19 tackles, a tackle for loss, and a quarterback pressure.
He brings a certain level of toughness from Kirby Smart that Nick Saban wants to be infused into Alabama’s defense.

Alabama fans want a scary defense to return, and the hope is Marshall helps restore it.
