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.

Marshall could start at middle “Mike” or weakside “Will” linebacker. We will see how he performs in preseason camp, but he unveiled the number he will wear during the team’s photo shoot. Marshall will have No. 17 for the Crimson Tide on defense.
