COLUMBUS, Ohio – Jalin Marshall was one of the best offensive prospects in the 2012 recruiting class, a former five-star quarterback who starred at Middletown, Ohio, before ending up at Ohio State. 

Typical story. Top Ohio prospect goes to Ohio State to play for Urban Meyer. How many times have you heard that? 

But Marshall's journey was different because he had chances to do elsewhere what wasn't available for him at Ohio State – to play quarterback in college. Tennessee gave Marshall that opportunity. He declined it.

"Being near my family was important to me, so Ohio State was a good spot for me," Marshall told cleveland.com after the Buckeyes' 56-17 win over Rutgers. "I wanted to come to Ohio State to play for Coach Meyer and to do big things in his offense. I really believed it would get to this point, and I am just going to keep working hard to make sure I accomplish the things I came here for."
