Brian Marshall played football at Northwestern 20 years ago after being a star running back for legendary coach Al Fracassa at Birmingham Brother Rice.

Now Marshall’s 13-year-old son, Isaiah Marshall, is already making a name for himself as a quarterback on the Southfield Falcons youth team.

In fact, Isaiah Marshall — a seventh grader at MacArthur Academy in Southfield — has already received college attention, getting an offer from Michigan coach Jim Harbaugh Tuesday morning.

“It happened this morning when Coach Harbaugh came to Southfield (A&T) and he reviewed a lot of his tape, broke it down and critiqued it and made the offer,” pointed out Brian Marshall of Harbaugh giving the offer to Isaiah.
