Marshall was in the middle of a terrific season, allowing just 9 receptions for 115 yards on 18 targets while leading the Gators’ defense with three pass break ups. 45 of the 115 yards came on one play vs Kentucky, a flea flicker. The 6’1, 205-pound cornerback led Florida in snaps through seven games and was playing as well as anyone on Florida’s defense.
