Michigan State 4-star WR commit Nick Marsh sets pair of official visits

River Rouge (Mich.) four-star wide receiver Nick Marsh hasn’t moved off of his commitment from Michigan State, but he is continuing his recruitment, which now includes a pair of upcoming official visits.

Marsh has set official visits with both Georgia Tech and Colorado, he confirmed with On3 on Monday. The 6-foot-3, 200-pounder is set to be in Atlanta this weekend, Oct. 28 for his visit with the Yellow Jackets, while his OV with the Buffaloes is set for Dec. 15-17.

Marsh was also in Boulder on a visit to Colorado at the end of September. He detailed his experience with Deion Sanders and the Buffaloes in an interview with On3’s Josh Newberg. Colorado fell 48-41 to USC, but the wideout was able to experience an impressive atmosphere at Folsom Field.

“My experience was pretty good, just going down there to a game that had over 7 million viewers was kind of crazy,” Marsh said. “Being on the sidelines, coming into the locker room, the energy, the voices I was hearing, got to see a lot of big time people … It was a great atmosphere. Watching the game, watching them be down and just keep fighting and come back into the game and have a pretty good game was pretty awesome.”

“He just says he wants dogs and leaders, he said he watched film, a guy my size, they need more outside receivers, that’s the pitch for a lot of colleges that’s approached me, they need more outside, big guys that can go up and catch the ball,” Marsh added of his interaction with Sanders.

Other schools pursuing Marsh

At the beginning of October, Marsh also mentioned the likes of Georgia, UCLA, Oklahoma, Pittsburgh and Penn State as programs that were looking to insert themselves in his recruitment amidst the uncertainty surrounding Michigan State following the firing of head coach Mel Tucker.

“As far as right now, i’m still committed (to Michigan State) and we’ve just been taking the process a little bit slow, keeping a little bit of options open just in case coaches leave,” Marsh told Newberg. “Just keeping the options open and just preparing for the worst, we’re just looking around…we’ve been taking it pretty lightly.”

“I’m just looking for authentic. I want to build a relationship with these coaches as fast as possible,” Marsh said. “I don’t have too much time left … look for a great school academic wise and just look somewhere where I can build my brand and my NIL somewhere. I think that’s the biggest part.”

Marsh is the No. 104 overall prospect and No. 19 WR in the 2024 cycle — per the On3 Industry Ranking. He’s also the No. 3 player in Michigan and remains Michigan State’s highest-ranked commit.
