Jalin has taken a surprising drop in the rankings. Did he not perform well at the opening?

I read on rivals I believe that marshall didn't look that polished at WR. Which honestly can be expected from someone who doesn't play WR primarily in HS. He hasn't gotten enough reps. I wouldn't be too worried though. All of his minor issues can be corrected easily when he gets to cbus.

I remember reading somewhere that he was paired with a non-performing QB, which might be a reason why he dropped.

These are both the primary reasons. Also keep in mind that 7 on 7 is great for small, shifty players but not as great for bigger guys who can break tackles, juke a defender, and take it home for 6.

Ohio State commit Jalin Marshall uses his quickness to make up for a lack of size.

Best Undersized Prospect
Seven-on-sevens often showcase prospects who do not have the ideal measureables for their position but possess outstanding athleticism. That begins to explain Belle Glade (Fla.) Glades Central 5-foot-7, 172-pound cornerback Will Likely, but it does not fully encapsulate all the Rivals250 prospect brings to the table. Likely was easily the most physical cornerback during the weekend's play, even taking bigger wide receivers and throwing them into the sidelines when he would come up in press coverage. Likely plays the game at a fast pace and has an incredible competitive streak. He may not be the biggest kid around, but he's definitely one you want on your side. Runner-up: At just 5-foot-10, wide receiver Jalin Marshall is not going to be jumping over defensive backs in the corner of the end zone. But his game is the short, underneath routes that get the football in his hands quickly and allow the Ohio State commit to use his quickness and agility to pick up yards after catch.
