David Marshall had no clue he was going to play in his first-ever game against North Carolina.
Going into last season’s Chick-fil-A Kickoff Game at the Georgia Dome, Marshall was only a freshman seeing second- and third-team snaps in practice. But it didn’t take long for head coach Kirby Smart and defensive coordinator Mel Tucker to call his number to get into the 2016 season opener.
And Marshall didn’t disappoint with his opportunity.
He tallied four tackles and recorded a sack in a 33-24 win over the Tar Heels.
“I got shocked when I got in the game,” Marshall said.
