Top Running Backs in the Class of 2012

Posted Feb 22, 2011
5. Keith Marshall: 5-11, 190-pounder from Raleigh, NC: Marshall is an all-purpose back who has a nice initial burst when he carries the ball. His vision may be his biggest asset, and he has home-run speed on all areas of the field. He has run the 40-yard dash in 4.25 seconds and consistently breaks 4.35. The son of former Denver Bronco Warren Marshall, he is an elusive and powerful runner who can block and catch passes out of the backfield. (Rivals.com)
