For the average college football fan, August is the worst possible month, when you can smell the upcoming football season but you still have to wait. Media days and training camp are just a weak palliative, while waiting for the events that are still weeks away.
So a summer recruiting update is always welcomed, also because in this last month and a half six players committed to come to Lubbock and this led Texas Tech to jump back into the 247.com's top 50, and are now sixth in the Big 12.
Demarcus Marshall / 6’3”, 333 lbs / Offensive lineman
Grand Prairie High School (Grand Prairie, TX)
24/7: *** / Rivals: **** / Scout: ***
This might be the best commitment of the summer, with Rivals even rating Marshall as a 4-star recruit.
