Ole Miss cuts ties with transfer WR Chris Marshall

Ole Miss dismissed transfer wide receiver Chris Marshall from the team.

“Chris Marshall has been dismissed from the Ole Miss football program for violation of team rules. We wish him good luck in his future plans,” the university said in a brief statement issued Saturday.

The school did not address the specific violation.

Marshall, from Missouri City, Texas, was a five-star recruit in the Class of 2022. The 247Sports composite listed him as the No. 3 wide receiver prospect, and he committed to Texas A&M.

He played the 2022 season with the Aggies and appeared in six games, catching 11 passes for 108 yards.

In the Grove Bowl scrimmage at Ole Miss in April, he caught four passes for 89 yards.

With a need for depth at the wide receiver position, coach Lane Kiffin likely will have to take a second look at the transfer portal.

Ex-Texas A&M WR Chris Marshall transfers to Ole Miss

Chris Marshall, a five-star recruit in the Class of 2022, announced Sunday he’s transferring to Ole Miss after one season at Texas A&M.

Marshall, from Missouri City, Texas, was the No. 3 overall wide receiver in the 2022 class, per the 247Sports composite. He was one of eight five-star prospects to sign with the Aggies before the 2022 season, giving Texas A&M the No. 1-ranked signing class.

Cornerback Denver Harris, a fellow 2022 five-star signee, transferred to LSU.

The disappointing Aggies finished 5-7 on the season.

The 6-foot-3 Marshall played in six games in 2022. He caught 11 passes for 108 yards.

Reports: Texas A&M suspends 3 freshmen indefinitely

Texas A&M head coach Jimbo Fisher has suspended three freshmen, including cornerback Denver Harris and wideout Chris Marshall, over a locker room incident at South Carolina last week, TexAgs and The Athletic reported Tuesday.

The suspensions, which also include offensive lineman PJ Williams, are indefinite, per the reports. Williams has not appeared in a game since the season opener.

Harris and Marshall were also part of a group of four freshmen suspended in September for a violation of team rules. They all missed the Miami game.

Harris has 14 tackles and three passes defensed in five games. He was a 5-star prospect and the 23rd best player in the Class of 2022, per the 247Sports composite.

Marshall has 11 receptions for 108 yards in three games (two starts). He was also a 5-star recruit in Fisher’s stellar 2022 class.

Texas A&M (3-4, 1-3 SEC) hosts No. 15 Ole Miss (7-1, 3-1) on Saturday. The Aggies lost to the Gamecocks 30-24 last week, marking their third straight loss.
