Michigan Wolverines Commit Receives Facetime Call From…
Jordan Marshall, one of the top high school running back prospects in the 2024 class, was recently named ‘Mr. Ohio’, an annual award given to the top football player in the state. Marshall is also one of the top commitments in Michigan’s 2024 recruiting class, and he received a special call from a Wolverine legend upon receiving his award.
Charles Woodson, arguably the greatest defensive back in College Football history, facetimed Marshall to congratulate him on winning the award. It’s a feeling that Woodson can certainly relate to, as he also was named ‘Mr. Ohio’ as a high school senior back in 1994.
COLUMBUS, Ohio – Cincinnati Archbishop Moeller senior running back Jordan Marshall has been named Ohio Mr. Football by the Ohio Prep Sportswriters Association. He is the 37th winner of the prestigious award.
Marshall, at 6-foot and 205 pounds, totaled 149 points in the statewide voting by OPSWA members.
Cleveland Heights junior running back Marquise Davis totaled 143 points to earn runner-up honors in the statewide media association.
Other Mr. Football finalists included Findlay junior quarterback Ryan Montgomery, Canton South senior quarterback Jack “Poochie” Snyder, Medina senior quarterback Danny Stoddard, Hilliard Bradley senior quarterback Bradyn Fleharty, Bishop Watterson senior linebacker Dominic Purcell and West Muskingum senior running back Rashid SeSay.
The Ohio Mr. Football Award was given by the Associated Press from 1987-2016. It has been given by the Ohio Prep Sportswriters Association since 2017.
The All-Ohio teams will be announced beginning Monday.
Along with Woodson, Marshall joins an impressive list of former Ohio high school football players to have earned the award:
