Gators land huge commitment in Jason Marshall

The Florida Gators made a huge splash on Sunday afternoon when they received a commitment from blue-chip cornerback Jason Marshall.

“It’s been a long lasting journey these past four years and I’ve seen so much success from the ups and downs and could only that God for what he has done for me,” Marshall tweeted. “Putting me in this amazing position I’m in today. Most importantly, I would like to give thanks to my BIGGEST SUPPORTERS, my parents for believing and pushing me to achieve my huge dreams since a young boy. I would like to that every single coach that gave me the opportunity to showcase my skills and helping me blossom into the man I am today. Next, I would like to give a huge shout out and thanks to the staff at Palmetto High School for the moral support on and off the field. Now, with that being said, I will be committing to the University of Florida.”

Marshall is the highest-rated prospect in Florida’s 2021 class and was one of their top targets this recruiting cycle. He chose Florida over Miami, where three of his Palmetto High School teammates have committed, LSU, and Oregon.

Marshall has the frame that Florida Gators defensive backs coach Torrian Gray looks for in a prospect. Marshall is 6’2”, long, and lean. Marshall is the 24th member of the Gators 2021 recruiting class.

Gator Country will have more on this huge, breaking commitment tonight.

A South Florida native, Nick developed a passion for all things sports at a very young age. His love for baseball was solidified when he saw Al Leiter’s no-hitter for the Marlins live in May of 1996. He was able to play baseball in college but quickly realized there isn’t much of a market for short, slow outfielders that hit around the Mendoza line. Wanting to continue with sports in some capacity he studied journalism at the University of Central Florida. Nick got his first start in the business as an intern for a website covering all things related to the NFL draft before spending two seasons covering the Florida football team at Bleacher Report. That job led him to GatorCountry. When he isn’t covering Gator sports, Nick enjoys hitting way too many shots on the golf course, attempting to keep up with his favorite t.v. shows and watching the Heat, Dolphins and Marlins.
