Shane Marshall brings thump-first upside to Georgia Tech’s backfield
Marshall enters Georgia Tech as a compact, physical runner who was rated a three-star recruit and ranked among the nation’s better high school backs, with 3,698 rushing yards and 52 touchdowns in his prep career, including 1,817 yards and 28 scores in his senior 2024 season[2][6][10]. At 5-11, 205, he looks built for contact, and early college usage in the 2025 season was limited but efficient, with 2 carries for 10 yards and a 5.0 average[3][4]. He’s a good fit if you want a hard-nosed downhill back with real red-zone juice and room to grow into a bigger role[2][15].
