The Texas high school football season is only a week away, and with that comes the last time many seniors will step onto the gridiron.
For one senior, he made his college commitment ahead of his final high school season today.
Katy Jordan 4-Star WR Andrew Marsh committed to Michigan over Washington, USC, Colorado and Texas.
The decision to go to Michigan ultimately came down to the visits he took up and the relationships he made with head coach Sherrone Moore.
“My official visit to Michigan was my sixth time up to Ann Arbor,” Marsh said. “I had a really great conversation with Coach Moore after dinner, and after talking to the people around me I felt like it was the best fit for me.”
This commitment for Marsh has been a long journey, being one of the top wide receiver recruits in the country. Choosing Michigan, Marsh is excited to continue his football journey with his end goal in sight.
“This has been something I’ve been dreaming of since I was a kid, getting to choose my school of choice,” he said. “I’m just ready to get Michigan, to start working and develop to reach my ultimate goal of making it to the NFL.”
The Texas native is trading the warm Friday night lights to the icy cold Saturday night lights of the Big House and is looking forward to playing in one particularly big-time game.
“I’m most excited for that Ohio State game," he said. :The history behind it, the rivalry, it’s the biggest game in college football other than the National Championship, so I’m excited to be able to compete in it.”
While they might not meet on the field this year, Marsh will face a friendly foe once he gets to Ann Arbor in 5-Star Devin Sanchez, who is committed to Ohio State.
The two H-Town star athletes coached in a youth camp together earlier this summer, but don’t get it mistaken, once they hit the gridiron for "The Game" next year, the rivalry begins.
“I guess that’s just how it works sometimes, Devin and I are pretty good friends and talk quite a bit,” he said. “I don’t think that the friendship will go away, but once that game comes, it’s time to go to work.”
Michigan is getting one of the top wide receiver prospects in the nation in Andrew Marsh and he has a message for Wolverine fans as he commits there.
“Wolverine fans, I’m coming,” Marsh said. “I’m ready to be a part of that offense, score some touchdowns and bring back another National Championship to the community.”
