Marsh has visited Michigan about ten times now, and the Wolverines were his childhood favorite school. Despite offers from local programs and teams that recruit the state of Texas a little better, he decided to pick Michigan. He has since put on his recruiting hat for Michigan and has been attempting to recruit or flip other players to join the 2026 class.

Marsh is a little bit of a difficult player for me to evaluate. 247 Sports lists him at 6'1" and 175 pounds, which is decent size for a receiver. His speed and acceleration are a little bit trickier. There are times where he just flat-out seems to have mediocre speed, but maybe he just looks that way because he has long, loping strides for someone who isn't particularly tall. He doesn't eat up defensive backs' cushion as quickly as I would expect, nor does he really take the top off a defense.

But he's a top-100 player, so how does he get that ranking while having mediocre size and good-not-great speed? Marsh's superpower appears to be his body control and his route-running ability. He looks like one of those guys who just knows how to set up a defensive back, rip through a jam, give a jab step one way and then pop open the other way, etc. He's also able to high-point the ball well and come down with catches some people wouldn't expect him to make. Then after the catch, he shows the same herky-jerkiness to gain extra yards and step through an occasional weak tackle attempt.

Overall, I like Marsh, but I'm not sure what his ceiling is. In some ways he reminds me of former Western Michigan and Michigan State wide receiver Jayden Reed, who became a 2nd round NFL draft pick and has played the past two seasons for the Green Bay Packers. Reed is a guy who wasn't a real burner (a 4.45 in the forty is solid but not outstanding) but who just always seemed to be able to get open. If Michigan gets its quarterback development on the right track, Marsh is a guy who can work over the middle and maybe catch an occasional deep ball. I think he can be a very productive college receiver if given the chance.

At this point Michigan has 19 commits in the class, including Florida product Jamar Browder, who just went public with his commitment this morning after decommitting from North Carolina State. They also have Louisiana native Jacob Washington committed at receiver, so that's three players at the position. Michigan is continuing to pursue LSU wide receiver commit Derek Meadows, a Nevada prospect who visited Ann Arbor last weekend and may be a package deal with Belleville (MI) Belleville quarterback Bryce Underwood. Marsh would be the first Katy Jordan alum to play for Michigan and joins cornerback commit Jayden Sanders as Lone Star State products in the 2025 class.
