“Coach Wes is a real honest guy. He will tell you the truth and nothing but the truth. He’s not going to sugarcoat anything or lie to you. He’s going to tell you what you need to hear, not what you want to hear.”
Marshall, who is seven-feet tall and 310 pounds, is the first commitment for Auburn in the 2024 class.
He is the No. 72 overall recruit in the country and No. 6-ranked center, according to the On3 Consensus, a complete and equally-weighted industry-generated average that utilizes all four major recruiting media companies.
He said he is locked in with his Auburn commitment.
“I’m done,” he said. “I’ll be back for another game soon.”
