Probably a dream at this point..... He did very well as their Tailback.. 850 yards 11 tds... I also think that their family believes he can get to the NFL/CFL/AFL from JMU playing Tailback easier than playing at Georgia Tech...
His father said playing time had a role in the decision to leave Georgia Tech “That was not the main factor,” Warren Marshall said Monday. “The transition from freshman to sophomore, I think there was some disappointment coming into his sophomore year when a freshman (Dedrick Mills) was named the starter. There was some contention there. I think it was a little bit of a personality clash (with coaches), but he never got into any disagreement or argument. We felt like they should make the freshman earn the position. (Mills) fit their profile. (Head coach) Paul Johnson, I have respect for him. He handled us extremely well. We left on good terms.”

Marcus Marshall operated out of Georgia Tech’s triple-option offense — he was essentially a dive-running back — before shifting to tailback in JMU’s spread offense. “They’re different positions. He had some learning curve there,” Madison coach Mike Houston said. “It did maybe take him a little longer to adapt and I think (the transition) may have given him some questions in the back of his mind as far as knowing that he can do it, that he can go out there and play at that high level.”
“He is continuing to try to pick up on the system,” Warren Marshall, Marcus’ father, said Monday night from his home in Raleigh, N.C. “I’m not there, so I don’t see everything, but just watching him in the games, he just looks like he’s picking up more of what their blocking schemes are. “I think he’s really doing a good job now of squaring his shoulders up so he can cut left or right, which I think makes a big difference in that system.”
