Early years
Marshall was born on December 7, 2036 in Chicago, Illinois. His father, Brandon Marshall Jr., was a star wide receiver at UCF and in the NFL, following in the footsteps of his father and Jarad's grandfather, superstar wideout Brandon Marshall. His mother, Hope Marshall, worked hard to raise Jarad and his three younger brothers, who were named Joey, Allen, and Marcus. As a young child, Marshall already displayed a love for the game of football, and he had already decided that he was going to live up to the Marshall name and become a star. His parents signed him up for multiple youth leagues in the Chicago area, which he excelled in, but his greatest pleasure was playing two-on-two in the backyard with his brothers, who all looked up to him.
High school
When Marshall was thirteen, his family moved to Charlotte, North Carolina so his dad could work in the Panthers organization. Marshall put his skills on full display at Garinger High School, which was fittingly the alma mater of the great Dwight Clark. The school only lost one game in Marshall's three seasons on the varsity team, which was marred by a questionable pass interference call that set up the other team's game-winning field goal. However, Marshall's tenure at the school was marred by tragedy. On the way home from a playoff game in Asheville in his senior year, Marshall's car was hit by a drunk driver going the wrong way. While Marshall was unharmed, his best friend and teammate, cornerback Rodney Schmitt, died two days later from injuries sustained in the crash. In the following week's championship game, he broke loose on the game's final play for a game-winning 44-yard touchdown, which he later said he had engineered as a tribute to Schmitt, who wore #44 during his time with the team. When he reached the end zone, he dropped to his knees and pointed at the sky, signaling to the entire crowd that he did it for his fallen comrade. The play-by-play man working the game summed it up perfectly when he mused that ""I think we all just shed a tear right there."" Marshall received offers from multiple Division I Schools, but he opted to stay close to home and attend UNC Chapel Hill.
College career
Marshall came into college with high hopes for his football career, but he barely saw the field during his freshman year due to a combination of an abundance of talent at the position and a knee injury that cut his campaign short after six unspectacular games. In his sophomore season, however, he broke out in a big way, catching 15 passes for 202 yards and 3 touchdowns, including an 86-yard bomb where he left his defender in the dust. After putting up crazy numbers during his sophomore and junior years, his skills reached another level during his senior year. He caught five touchdown passes in one game against Marshall, then caught six against Florida State a week later. In the same game , he shattered the single-game yardage record with an astonishing 438 yards. In the national championship game against Alabama, he showed off his versatility by taking a jet sweep 58 yards to the house in the first quarter and throwing to a touchdown to QB Bruce McClane on a trick play in the third. UNC's 44-21 victory, along with a Heisman Trophy and a consensus All-American selection, cemented Marshall's place in the pantheon of college wideouts.
