Northwood has one of the most prolific offenses in the Shreveport/Bossier area in northwest Louisiana. The Falcons are averaging 40 points a game while posting a 4-1 record halfway through the season. One of the leaders on the offensive side of the ball is senior wide receiver, Patrick Marshall who has snagged 19 passes for 300 receiving yards and has 57 rushing yards with four total touchdowns. The 5’9”, 170-pound, playmaker also can wreak havoc on the defense as he has pulled down an interception and has broken up five passes.
The Class of 2020 prospect currently has two college offers and is also receiving interest from numerous colleges including Southern and Northwestern State. Marshall is not only a leader on the field but also in the classroom where he has 3.5 GPA and math is his favorite subject.
In an exclusive Recruiting News Guru interview, I sat down with Patrick to discuss his career at Northwood and his recruiting process.
