Cornerback Iman Marshall was the center of attention at Long Beach (Calif.) Poly on Friday morning, as he received his Under Armour All-America Game jersey. It's the second consecutive year a Jackrabbits standout will take part in the game, as Marshall follows Juju Smith, from the 2014 class.
Marshall will follow Smith's lead in another aspect as well, as the five-star cornerback and nation's No. 8 overall prospect will keep recruiting fans guessing as to his ultimate destination all the way to signing day.
While Marshall announced earlier this fall that he would take official visits to Florida State, LSU, Michigan, Notre Dame and Oklahoma, those have yet to be scheduled.
"Everything is still the same," Marshall said of his recruiting plan. "I'm just enjoying the process and the season. I'm excited for my five officials."
Although, everything might not be the same for long, as Marshall added that those might not actually be the five schools he visits.
"I have a feeling I might switch one, but I'm still debating," Marshall said, declining to state what school might not actually receive a trip.
SATs have prevented Marshall from taking official visits to this point, and he said he hopes to eventually take some during the end of the season so there isn't a rush to take them all after the season ends. One thing that isn't likely to change between now and the end of the year is that the three California schools involved -- Stanford, UCLA and USC -- will all be in the race until the end.
Six questions with Iman Marshall
Who are you most looking forward to playing with at the Under Armour All-America Game?
Marshall: "First off I would love to play with Josh Rosen, Christian Kirk and Cordell Broadus. There are a lot of guys on the East Coast as well, but those are the three that come to my mind right now."
If you could start your team with any player from the 2015 recruiting class, who would it be?
Marshall: "I'd have Rosen at quarterback, Broadus on one side and Kirk on the other, with Calvin Ridley in there also. Me at cornerback, Derwin James at safety and Kevin Tolliver on the other side of me. John Houston and Jeffery Holland at linebacker."
What is your earliest football memory?
Marshall: "In my first game, I went 85 yards for a touchdown on my first carry."
What football player did you idolize growing up?
Marshall: "As a defensive back, of course, I wanted to be like Deion Sanders. Every DB wants to be like him."
If you could take on any professional at their sport, who would it be?
Marshall: "I'd take on LeBron or Kobe at basketball. You can't miss that."
Why do you wear your number (8)?
Marshall: "Nobody knows this but the reason I got eight was that in Pop Warner, my number was zero. They didn't have zero in high school, so the closest number that looks like zero is eight."
