The 6-foot-4, 238-pound Marshall Marshall did well for himself during the Michigan spring game, posting a couple tackles for loss will providing significant behind-the-line pressure for his defensive unit.

A four-star prospect coming out of Southfield (Mich.) High School in 2014, Marshall was ranked as the #176-overall player in his class by 247Sports.
