Jalin Marshall signs with second professional league in three weeks

CFL Elks

Former Ohio State receiver and return man, Jalin Marshall, has had a busy 2022 as today he signed with his second professional team in a second professional football league. Marshall will be joining his former quarterback J.T. Barrett up north in the Canadian Football League with the Edmonton Elks.

Marshall has taken this opportunity over playing for the Massachusetts Pirates of the Indoor Football League, which he signed with just three weeks earlier on January 19th.

Unlike Barrett, Marshall already had some CFL experience as he has been with the Hamilton Tiger-Cats since the 2019 season, where he appeared in eight games and accounted for eight receptions for 139 yards. Big things were expected from Marshall in 2020 as the leading receiver for Hamilton left to the NFL and Marshall seemingly understood the nuances of the game. However, COVID-19 forced the league to cancel its season.

The 2021 season was less than spectacular for Marshall. He appeared in the season opener and earned two receptions for 20 yards but disappeared from the line-up for the rest of the season. However, we have all seen his athletic ability and Marshall can certainly make an impact.

Marshall will be joining a receiving room that features CFL legend Derel Walker, who some may remember from his time at Texas A&M, Tevaun Smith from Iowa, and Armanti Edwards who will always be remembered as the quarterback for Appalachian State when it defeated Michigan.

It should be noted that Marshall is still only 26-years old and has spent time with the New York Jets and Oakland Raiders in the NFL, as well as the Orlando Apollos of the now-defunct Alliance of American Football (AAF).

We’ll keep an eye on Marshall and what he can do up in Canada, eh? Stay tuned.
