(Image Source: Greg Bartram/Ohio State) Here’s a look at one of the top draft prospects for the future at the wide receiver position coming out of Ohio State: Star of Tomorrow: Jalin Marshall, Ohio State Class of 2018; True Sophomore; Draft Eligible in 2017 Stats: 38 receptions, 499 yards, 13.1 YPC, 6 TDs, 57 yards Long; 25 carries, 154 yards, 5.8 YPC, 1 TD; 11.8 Yards per punt return, 1 TD A name Indiana Hoosier fans are all too familiar with, Jalin Marshall scored four second-half touchdowns during Indiana’s upset bid against Ohio State in Columbus last fall. The Hoosiers jumped ahead 20-14 before he decided to takeover the game, returning a punt 54 yards for a score in the third quarter followed by touchdown receptions of six, 15, and 54 yards, all in the fourth quarterback to put Indiana’s dreams of pulling of the upset to sleep. While his season stats were far from record setting, 38 catches for 499 yards and six touchdowns, the dynamic playmaker showed glimpses of how great he could become. The 5’11”, 205 lbs. athlete is a threat to defenses both on the ground and through the air and has the potential to become one of the best all-around players in the Big Ten, as long as he limits his mistakes and makes the most of his touches. Because the Buckeyes have an embarrassment of riches on offense, touches could at times be hard to come by. Nonetheless, don’t be surprised to see Marshall’s name on multiple late season award watch lists. To Read More From Sammy Jacobs and Nick Holmes of HoosierHuddle.com, click here.
