Terrace Marshall Jr. is a five-star prospect. The ultra-talented wide receiver could pick up the phone tomorrow and commit to virtually any school in the country.
Obviously, Marshall has no shortage of options, but he released narrowed his focus to five schools – Texas, Texas A&M, LSU, Miami and TCU.
The Longhorns have been a school that’s been high on Marshall’s list for some time. He visited Texas for a junior day in February, plans to return again this summer and will take an official visit to UT in the fall.
“Texas fits in pretty well right now. They’re part of my recruitment, a big part of my recruitment,” Marshall said. “I’m really looking at them. Coach (Tom) Herman and coach (Drew) Mehringer are really good people and I’m just still evaluating them.”
The 6-4 Marshall stays in close contact with Mehringer, UT’s wide receivers coach, and Mehringer has told Marshall he’d have a chance to come in and make an early impact.
“He says he wants to use me as his biggest target, come there and maybe start as a freshman,” Marshall said. “They’ve been doing very well with recruiting me. They’ve been showing me lots of love and that they really want me. That’s what put them up top.”
College coaches are putting in work trying to win Marshall over, but they’re not the only ones. Other recruits, including his high school quarterback and a quarterback committed to Texas, are both recruiting Marshall as well.
“He’s been trying to work me,” Marshall said of his high school teammate Justin Rogers, a TCU commitment. “As a quarterback and wide receiver, there’s a connection so he tries to recruit me. (Texas commitment) Casey Thompson, I’ve talked to him too. He’s a very good quarterback. He’s very versatile. He can run and throw, so I really feel like that’s a good situation for him.”
A big, physical receiver who can do a little bit of everything on the field, Marshall said he feels his versatility is what makes him so tough to cover.
“I’m going to bring physicality. I’m going to bring speed. I have a big frame, I can go up and get it any time. I can also run a regular route like a normal 5-10 receiver,” Marshall said. “I have the whole package basically.”
Marshall is the nation’s No. 3-ranked wide receiver prospect and the country’s No. 20-ranked prospect overall.
