Marsh's high school coach is Jere Adcock, one of the most respected names in alabama high school football. He's coached at Decatur for 20 years. His teams are always hard nosed and he knows talent when he sees it. Multiple players to D1 over the years and even NFL...Jerraud Powers and Rolando McClain to name a couple. If he says it, believe it to be the truth.
"Before Marsh left for the Auburn camp, Decatur coach Jere Adcock had a feeling his star linebacker would leave with an offer.
“He’s that good,” Adcock said. “We’ve had guys in our program play in the SEC before, and he’s as good as any we’ve had here. Smart. Athletic. Great character. He has everything you need to be successful.”
“The young man is active in a lot of different things — a whole lot of things that are extremely positive,” Decatur coach Jere Adcock said. “He’s about as well-rounded of a student-athlete that we’ve had, and he’s one heck of a football player. An extremely intelligent, humble young man with a ton of natural talent: That’s the best way to describe Josh.”
“He’s one of the best linebackers we’ve had here in our program, and over the years, we’ve had some darn good ones,” Adcock said. “When you watch film, you notice that Josh almost always is around the football.
“That’s not just from skill and athleticism. It’s a product of instincts and football IQ. That young man plays the game extremely well. He’s a dang good one.”
“He’s just an extremely humble kid,” Adcock said. “No level of success is going to change that. And that’s why his teammates love him. He’s always going to be a team-first kind of guy.”
