Carston Marshall is YSU’s tone-setting, run-stuffing linebacker
In the 2025 season, Carston Marshall emerged as Youngstown State’s top linebacker with 71 tackles, 7 tackles for loss, 1.5 sacks, and 2 forced fumbles, showing up as a gap-sound, athletic defender who can impact both the run game and the momentum of a drive. He’s a 6-foot-2, 215-pound fifth-year linebacker with previous Big 12 experience at Iowa State, and YSU’s staff has pointed to him as a key piece in a new 3-4 defense. If you want a dependable, physical, high-motor linebacker with proven production and veteran poise, he’s an easy fit.
