NC State’s “Island Corner” Delivers Big-Play Production
Devon Marshall emerged in the 2025 season as one of NC State’s most reliable playmakers at cornerback, finishing with 50 tackles, 16 pass breakups, and 2 interceptions while earning strong coverage grades and national attention as a likely Day 3 NFL prospect.[1][11][13] His calling cards are ball skills, competitiveness, and the ability to shadow top receivers without flinching; sources also describe him as a leader with a chip on his shoulder, which fits a team looking for a tough, confident boundary CB who can create turnovers and handle pressure.[12][15]
