Running back Byron Marshall (San Jose, Calif./Valley Christian) Byron Marshall visited Cal over the weekend despite being an Oregon commit.
Marshall, the top back in the West, committed to the Ducks over a month ago but decided to follow through on his visit to Cal that he had set prior to his Oregon commitment.
“The visit was just how I thought it would be, and I had a lot of fun,” Marshall said. “I knew a lot of the guys and they were definitely trying to sell me on Cal. A lot of the guys on the visit are either committed to Cal or thinking strongly about it, but it was all in good fun. They were saying, ‘you might as well commit, everyone else here is,’ and things like that, but I’m still very solid to Oregon.

“Cal is a great program, and I enjoyed watching the team practice and hanging with Coach G [Ron Gould]. Still there’s a reason why I committed to Oregon, and I’m very happy with that decision. I fit in really well in that offense and I have a great relationship with the coaching staff there and I really like Coach Campbell. I wanted to do this visit to Cal but I’m done with any more trips and my commitment is rock solid.”

Great to hear. Too bad he couldn't sway any of the other guys down there to come with him....

Thank you Marshall.

I also hope it was a 2 way street with Marshal in the ears of Cal's recruits. You never know what can happen if you plant the bug in their heads. Would be nice to turn the recruiting tide on them once in a while. Of course I would rather keep getting the W on the field!

Nice to see cal didn't get him to change. Seems like the last 3-4 years
there are players that go to cal instead of Oregon and people are up in arms
about it. Yet Oregon is in the rose bowl or Natty. I'll trust in Oregon to bring
in players that want to be here. The kind of players were getting now, we are going
to be a power for along time to come. If we beat Wisconsin, losing the big game
stigma will be gone and that will help with recruiting.
