Defensive End
3rd Round
Texas A & M
"The Jets chose Marshall after obtaining a third-round pick from San Francisco in exchange for veteran defensive tackle Ed Galigher. 'A player of first-round caliber,' says head coach Walt Michaels. 'We feel his best football is ahead of him.' Scouts like his quickness (5.0 in the 40) and aggressiveness.
Marshall earned four varsity letters and was named first-team All-Southwest Conference. He won the only football award given at Texas A & M, the Aggie Heart Award, for effort, determination and competitiveness. Tank earned AP honorable mention All-America last season when he made 61 tackles (39 solo) and four quarterback sacks.
He played in the Liberty Bowl as a junior. He played alongside Edgar Fields and Jimmy Dean, who were picked in the third and fourth rounds of the 1977 draft.
Tank was a physical education major. He was an all-state defensive end at F.D. Roosevelt High in Dallas, Texas, his birthplace and hometown."
