Marshall's father, Maurice, is a former professional boxer who now coaches youth basketball, and his mother works at a Washington, D.C. hospital. He grew up one of several siblings and played both football and basketball before moving to Maryland at nine.
His competitive, hard-nosed reputation — a reason he chose Xavier — occasionally spills over, as with a four-game suspension after an on-court altercation in December 2024, a basketball-disciplinary matter rather than a legal one.
Physical, versatile and relentlessly competitive, Marshall is the definition of an earned-it, do-everything wing.
