He was one of the highest-rated running back prospects in the country as part of the 2024 recruiting class, and it sounds like Michigan fans might get their first look at Jordan Marshall on offense on Saturday. Through 10 games, Marshall has appeared in two contests (against Texas and Indiana) exclusively on special teams, accounting for a combined 7 kick returns for 151 yards. But for as talented as he is, Michigan’s deep stable of running backs has meant that Marshall has yet to see an opportunity to carry the ball this year.

When asked about the running back rotation for the upcoming matchup against Northwestern, head coach Sherrone Moore indicated that it would be a return to business as usual with Kalel Mullings leading the way.

“He’ll for sure get more carries,” Moore said of Mullings. “He didn’t get as many in the first half [against Indiana], and wanted to get Dono… you know, he practiced well. Ben [Hall] practiced well. Kalel practiced well, too. But really just working those guys in, and the in the second half, Kalel got more.”

But when asked specifically about Marshall, Moore said that he thinks the true freshman will get a couple of opportunities on Saturday.

“I think he’ll get a couple,” Moore said. “It’s just so hard with one ball, four really good players. You add Micah Ka’apana in there and there’s another one. So you’ve got to manipulate different ways to get those guys on the field, but we’ll see him at some point during the game.”

Given all of his accomplishments at the high school level, there’s no question that fans are eager to see Marshall work his way into the offense as quickly as possible. Here’s a closer look at all of those high school accomplishments, courtesy of MGoBlue.com:
