TJ is probably a better run stopper. All based on my untrained eye. FWIW, I agree Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aufan57 922 Posted July 22, 2017 Share Posted July 22, 2017 Quote Marsh earned the offer after an impressive performance at Auburn's half-day camp. He ran a 4.43-second 40-yard dash and was a standout in 1-on-1 drills. Following the camp, Marsh met with Auburn coach Gus Malzahn. "One of the assistants told me that we were going up to Coach Malzahn's office," Marsh said. "We talked for a little bit and then Coach Malzahn said they wanted to offer me a scholarship." It didn't take Marsh long to accept it. "I said, 'Well, OK. I want to commit,'" Marsh said. "I've been dreaming of that since I was three years old. I've been wanting to play for Auburn since I was 3." Marsh plays linebacker for Decatur, but could project at many positions in college, including linebacker, safety and nickle back. "It doesn't matter to me," Marsh said. "They just said they want me as an athlete on defense." I like the thought of an athlete on defense that projects to multiple positions.

For those wondering I believe Quay Walker was the only major OLB-Star target on the board & he's committed to Bama so might as well take this athletic youngster.

For the life of me I'll never understand why we offer & accept a kid's commitment based on what he does during one day of camp. These "camp warriors" need to prove it on the football field before we give them a spot that could go to Jibunor, Harris, McClain, Tindall, Fox, and Tannor. What happens if we land all of those guys? Do we cut this guy loose? We all know that's not the way that Malzahn recruits. There were some that we expecting us to land Harris & Jibunor this very weekend. Are we already admitting defeat for Fox to LSU or Tannor to UGA. I'm not saying that the kid can't play, I just don't understand the timing.

Guy wants to be at AU and is a hard nosed guy with good instincts. Sometimes you have to take chances on those guys not just the guys that are rated higher. Marsh seems like the type of guy you want at AU. If Twill gave the ok on him I feel pretty good about it 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
