5-star Florida commit wears Gator cleats for first game of season

Next year, Jason Marshall will be donning the blue and orange as a member of the Gators. But it’s never too early for a future member of the program to start wearing some Florida swag.

On Friday, Palmetto High School (Miami) played a preseason game against Booker T. Washington. However, Marshall’s cleat game was already in midseason form for the contest, as he was wearing blue and orange Jumpman footwear to rep his future school:

Marshall is a 5-star recruit and the No. 2 cornerback in the 2021 class, per the 247Sports Composite rankings. He’s the No. 7 recruit from Florida and the No. 31 overall recruit in the class.

Marshall committed to Florida on Aug. 9, choosing the Gators over other schools such as Miami and Alabama.

Once Marshall joins the Gators, he could quickly become an impact player on defense. During Palmetto’s preseason game on Friday, it didn’t take long for the 6-foot-2 cornerback to make a big play:

Gators fans should be excited to watch Marshall once he arrives on campus next fall.
