Well, this is certainly less than ideal. Marcus Marshall, after leading Georgia Tech in rushing in both his freshman and sophomore years, will be leaving the Yellow Jackets.
We had heard rumblings about this possibility for a couple weeks, but I, personally, just couldn’t believe it. Nobody knows for sure, but there have been many speculated reasons as to Marshall’s now confirmed departure - splitting time with Mills, not really liking the B-Back position, etc.
Whatever his reasons, this is a huge blow for Georgia Tech. Marshall is a fantastic football player, and as we all know, Paul Johnson’s offense can never have enough bal carriers.
