Auburn’s 2025 recruiting class has made a significant advancement by securing another top-tier recruit. As of today, On3’s team recruiting rankings have the Tigers at #6 nationally. The addition of Nate Marshall, a defensive lineman from Chicago’s Fenwick High School, enhances both the future defensive line and Auburn’s overall ranking. This morning, Marshall switched his commitment from the Michigan Wolverines, where he had been pledged since April 22, 2024, to Auburn. Standing 6 feet 4 inches tall and weighing 270 pounds, Marshall is highly regarded in recruiting circles.
Rankings are in the order of national defensive line and state.
On3: 120, 12, and 4
247: 80, 12, and 2
Rivals: 29, 1, and 1
ESPN: 79, 4, and 2
In addition to offers from Auburn and Michigan, he has received football scholarship offers from Alabama, Tennessee, Texas A&M, Texas, Missouri, Notre Dame, Illinois, Iowa, Oregon, and Southern California.
Currently rated as a 4-star recruit, he has the potential to be ranked as a 5-star by one or more recruiting services by the end of the year. His senior season will play a crucial role in determining this. His impressive junior season is a key reason for his high rankings. Marshall’s HUDL film begins with highlights of him as a wide receiver. Despite his size, he is agile and displays exceptional hand-eye coordination in jump-ball situations. His movement on the field resembles that of a receiver more than a player weighing over 250 pounds. However, his future is projected as a defensive lineman. Whether on the edge or as a defensive tackle, his quick first step enables him to achieve tackles for loss and sacks. His ability to maneuver through tight spaces is also noteworthy.
Marshall will be Auburn’s 13th defensive recruit and the sixth defensive lineman recruited by Hugh Freeze and his team.
