Norfolk State freshman safety Jacoby Marshall brings size, local edge, and upside
Jacoby Marshall is a freshman safety for Norfolk State in the 2026 season, listed at 6-foot-0 and 175 pounds, and he arrives from Chesapeake, Virginia, with a local-leader profile that fits a physical MEAC defense.[1][3][14] Current public stat pages show no available 2026 game statistics yet, so the evaluation is more projection than production for now.[4][5][15] Why care: he’s a homegrown defensive back with a frame that can add more weight, and that combination usually points to a player who can grow into a reliable tackler and coverage piece if the development curve hits.[1][14]
