“This offense gives me so many opportunities because we have a lot of weapons,” Marsh said after the win over Cy-Creek. “I get put in man-on-man because they can’t focus on one guy and when that happens, I don’t think anyone can guard me one-on-one."

Jordan’s Marsh named Texas Ford Tough Player of the Week

Posted

Senior Jordan wide receiver Andrew Marsh was named the Built Ford Tough Texas High School Football Player of the Week for Class 6A in the first week of the regular season for Class 6A after a big performance in the Warrior’s win over Cy-Creek.

After committing to The University of Michigan the week prior, Marsh came out on fire in the Warriors season opener, catching four passes for 169 yards and two touchdowns while adding a 90-yard kickoff return for a touchdown in Jordan’s 66-20 win over Cy-Creek.

“He’s just a complete wide receiver,” said Jordan head coach Mike Rabe. “He blocks well, runs well, returns kicks, he’s the complete package. He has also lifted his teammates along with him and now he has set his sights on a successful senior season before joining the Wolverines.”

It’s the second time Marsh has been named the Ford Tough Player of the Week, he also earned the honors last year in the last week of the regular season after catching eight passes for 240 yards and five touchdowns in a win over Morton Ranch that clinched Jordan’s first ever playoff berth. He finished his junior year with 65 catches for 1,158 yards and 15 touchdowns, averaging over 105 yards per game.

“This offense gives me so many opportunities because we have a lot of weapons,” Marsh said after the win over Cy-Creek. “I get put in man-on-man because they can’t focus on one guy and when that happens, I don’t think anyone can guard me one-on-one. With all the pieces we have on the team and the way we spread the ball around it’s a big help. It gets me the matchups that I want, and I feel like I can win every time, it doesn’t matter who is across from me.”

Marsh worked well with both of Jordan’s quarterbacks in the game, as Jordan played both Dominic Cangolosi and Beau Bryant and he is excited for the Warrior’s team to continue to learn and grow as the season progresses.

“This was huge for us to start the season this way,” Marsh said. “We came out and we took care of business, that is what we should expect to do after the tam. Now we have to keep focusing on getting better and carry it over into next week and district, because that is the most important thing.”
