DNP for Week 2 Marshall (leg) did not play during Saturday's 24-23 win over Gardner-Webb.

Impact Since transferring from Colorado State, Marshall has watched Liberty play all subsequent games without him, presumably because of his leg injury. The running back finished each of his last three CSU seasons with almost 50 rushing attempts and at least 250 rushing yards, so the Flames may be missing a top option in their running back room.

Impact Marshall wearing a brace in pregame warmups suggests that he may not be available for the game itself. The running back did not log a counting stat in Week 1 and is looking for his first touches with Liberty.

Impact Marshall joins his new program after playing three seasons with Colorado State.

Plans to enter portal Marshall plans to enter the NCAA's transfer portal, On3 reports.

Impact Marshall is out for Week 14, and with Colorado State's 2025 season finished immediately thereafter, it makes sense that the running back make it public that he will go portaling next offseason. The running back has two years of collegiate eligibility remaining.

Out for Week 14 Marshall (undisclosed) is out for Saturday's game against the Air Force.

Impact Colorado State will look to improve to 2-7 in-conference and 3-9 overall in 2025 without Marshall, who will finish his current season prematurely because of an undisclosed issue. The running back's statistical production slightly declined this year, but he still logged a touchdown and over 300 total yards of offense.

Available for Week 8 Marshall (leg) is available for Friday's game at Utah State.

Impact Even though Marshall suffered a non-contact injury in Week 7, he will not sit out any games because of the leg-related problem. Instead, the running back will look to build on his recent seven-carry, one-touchdown game that he recently recorded against Fresno State.

Suffers non-contact leg injury Marshall sustained a non-contact leg injury in Colorado State's win over Fresno State in Week 7, per Michael Hovey of The Collegian.

Impact Marshall still tallied 93 rushing yards and a touchdown on seven carries, but the Rams' rotational tailback was banged up in a stunning beatdown of Fresno State. It's unclear what Marshall's status is moving forward in advance of Week 8 against Hawaii.

OCTOBER 13, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Leading rusher in win Marshall accrued seven rushes for 93 yards and a touchdown during Friday's 49-21 victory versus Fresno State.

Impact While Marshall only logged seven carries, he certainly made the most of his chances, ultimately leading the Rams in rushing, with the majority of his production coming on a 73-yard touchdown on CSU's opening drive, his first score this season. After rushing for 746 yards last year, Marshall's role has been limited thus far in 2025, though that could change after Friday's performance. Overall, the redshirt sophomore has 176 yards on 23 rushing attempts through five games.

Returns against Northern Colorado Marshall (undisclosed) logged eight rushes for 37 yards during Saturday's 21-17 victory against Northern Colorado.

Impact Marshall was previously listed as questionable after being held out of the team's season opener due to an undisclosed injury, but was able to suit up on Saturday. The 5-foot-10 running back didn't see a massive workload, totaling 37 yards on eight attempts on the ground, but his presence on the field was encouraging to see. Following a bye week, a home matchup against UTSA will serve as Marshall's next chance to make an impact.

Reason for Week 1 absence explained Marshall (undisclosed) didn't play in Week 1 against Washington because he wasn't 100 percent ready and fell behind some of his teammates after sustaining an injury in camp, head c...

Impact There was uncertainty surrounding Marshall's absence from the Week 1 loss to Washington, but it appears he fell behind other players in the RB room due to the injury he sustained during camp. However, Marshall is healthy now and expected to be involved in the backfield rotation in the near future.

SEPTEMBER 2, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Doesn't play in Week 1 Marshall didn't play in the Week 1 loss to Washington.

Impact It's unclear why Marshall wasn't given any carries in this 38-21 loss to Washington. His status for the Week 2 contest against Northern Colorado should be uncertain as a result.

Solid in blowout loss Marshall had nine rushes for 84 yards and caught their only target for 13 yards during Saturday's 43-17 loss versus Miami (OH).

Impact Marshall saw just half the carries that Avery Morrow had and completely outperformed him. He rushed for over nine yards per carry, accumulating 84 yards for the fourth time this season. He finishes his first full season with 156 carries for 776 yards and four touchdowns. With Morrow out of eligibility, Marshall should lead the Rams' backfield next season.

Logs 94 rushing yards and TD Marshall (undisclosed) posted 20 carries for 94 yards and one touchdown and hauled in 1 of 2 targets for three yards during Saturday's 28-22 loss against Fresno State.

Impact Marshall's most carries since Week 1 helped him log his third-highest rushing yard total and fourth touchdown of 2024. The redshirt freshman has doubled his 2023 output in yards and touchdowns, easily making his 2024 a successful year even before Colorado State's regular season comes to a close Friday.

NOVEMBER 27, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Warming up Saturday Marshall (undisclosed) is going through warmups and is likely to play in Saturday's game against Fresno State, Kevin Lytle of the Fort Collins Coloradoan reports.

Impact Marshall suffered an injury in the win over Wyoming in Week 12, but all signs point to him playing based on his activity during warmups. The tailback has racked up 123 carries for 581 yards and three touchdowns in 10 games this season.

NOVEMBER 23, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Exits with injury Friday Marshall totaled 16 carries for 104 yards and reeled in his only target for 12 yards during Friday's 24-10 win over Wyoming. He left the game with an undisclosed injury.

Impact Marshall set the tone in the first drive with a 38-yard rush and ended up leading Colorado State in both rushing attempts and yards before departing with an injury. The severity of the injury is unclear, though he should be considered at least questionable for the Nov. 23 matchup at Fresno State until further details are provided.

NOVEMBER 16, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Decent workload in win Marshall totaled 13 carries for 67 yards and a touchdown during Saturday's 38-21 victory versus Nevada.

NOVEMBER 6, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Six carries for 15 yards Marshall (undisclosed) logged six carries for 15 yards during Colorado State's 21-13 win Saturday at the United States Air Force Academy.

Impact Marshall has got to pick up the slack, considering he averaged less than two yards per carry across his last seven rushing attempts in two games. At the very least, Marshall not sitting out any time will give him an opportunity to get back on track for himself and Colorado State.

OCTOBER 21, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

In uniform for warmups Saturday Marshall (undisclosed) is in uniform for warmups before Saturday's game against Air Force, Kevin Lytle of the Fort Collins Coloradoan reports.

Injured against San Jose State Marshall (undisclosed) left Saturday's game versus San Jose State with an injury and will not return, Kevin Lytle of the Fort Collins Coloradoan reports.

Impact Marshall ran the ball just once for negative yardage before he was forced out of the contest. With Avery Morrow (undisclosed) also shaken up, Kobe Johnson, Damian Henderson, Keegan Holles and Jalen Dupree could all be in line for expanded roles.

OCTOBER 12, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Finds end zone Saturday Marshall recorded 10 carries for 53 yards and a touchdown during Saturday's 39-31 overtime defeat to Oregon State.

Impact Marshall put together a decent outing thanks to a 12-yard touchdown run in the first quarter, though his 10 carries matched a season low. The redshirt freshman has been out-carried 46-to-24 by Avery Morrow over Colorado State's last two contests, as he's clearly fallen to number two in the pecking order. Overall, Marshall has 323 yards and two touchdowns on 73 carries through five games this season.

OCTOBER 7, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Scores in loss Marshall (leg) logged 14 rushes for 54 yards and one touchdown during Saturday's 28-9 loss against Colorado.

Impact Marshall tallied 83 total yards and a touchdown as the Rams fell to their bitter rivals Colorado on Saturday. The 5-foot-10 redshirt freshman was helped to the medical tent during the contest, but he was ultimately able to return for Colorado State. Through 3 contests Marshall has been the clear leader in the Rams' backfield, totaling 257 yards and one touchdown on 53 total touches. Marshall and the rest of Colorado State will face off against UTEP in Week 4.

SEPTEMBER 15, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Helped off field Saturday Marshall was helped off the field during Saturday's game against Colorado and went straight to the medical tent, Tyler King of The Denver Gazzette reports.

Impact Marshall has been one of the few standout performers for Colorado State this season, so there's no question his potential absence would represent a huge blow for their rushing attack. Keegan Holles should handle the rushing duties in case Marshall is unable to return to action.
