Georgia Tech’s Freshman DL with Elite Prep TFLs and a Redshirt Breakout
Landen Marshall, a 6'2", 295-lb freshman defensive lineman for Georgia Tech, is poised for a breakout 2026 season after redshirting in 2024 and seeing no game time in 2025. His differentiator is his elite high school intensity: he amassed 29.5 tackles for loss (TFL) over his final three prep seasons (2021–23), including 14 TFL as a senior in 2023, showcasing rare pass-rush disruption from the interior. Though he has zero collegiate stats so far, his physical maturity (rated 70 in EA Sports College Football 27) and business-minded drive to own a trucking company reflect a disciplined, goal-oriented personality. With no injury history reported and spring practice offering his first real glimpse, Marshall is a high-upside fit for teams needing a heavy, disruptive DT who can grow into a leader. Care about him because he’s the next wave of Georgia Tech’s defensive depth—raw but intensely prepared.
