is an animal. The 4-star bound for Cornell has all of the attributes of a player who could thrive at the next level as he heads to a program that has developed elite undersized defensemen. Whether he’s playing for Westfield or his Leading Edge, Marshall affects the game in a variety of ways. First, he’s lefty, but he’s comfortable with either hand. A very aggressive on-ball defender with sound footwork, Marshall often pushes out on opponents to pressure them and throws great takeaway checks. On the off-chance that he gets beat, he never gives up on the play and always looks for the recovery check. One of the things that I noticed and really like seeing is that Marshall always keeps his stick out in front of him to either throw a smart and well-timed check or to poke the opponent’s hands. He has great speed and quickness, which helps him in the transition game or when harassing an attackman and I could also see him possibly taking some runs at long-stick midfield at Cornell if needed. He’s not a huge player, but he is still very physical and puts his body on the line for his team. I like his work on ground balls as well, he likes kicking the ball to space when there is a scrum and then has the speed to outrun everyone and scoop it. Marshall is an all-around smart defender and I believe that will help him transition to the next level.
