Marshall is no stranger to Wyoming Football, having coached against the Cowboys while at UTEP from 1985-87.
He was a center in football and was a Small College All-American as a catcher in baseball.
As a student-athlete, he was both a college football and baseball player at Bowling Green State University in Bowling Green, Ohio, for three seasons (1965-66 through 1967-68), and concluded his college career at Tennessee-Martin for the 1969-70 season.
Jim is actively involved with the AmericanFootball Coaches Association, the Fellowship of Christian Athletes and Outstanding Young Men of America.
As a result of that victory, Jim and his dad (who died in 1981) became the only father-and-son combination in college football to win national championships (Lee Tressel won the 1978 Division III crown at Baldwin Wallace).

During the 2001 season, Jim Tressel's first year as head coach, the Buckeyes went 1-4 in games decided by a touchdown or less.
In 1964, Carl Eller, a consensus All-America with the University of Minnesota, was a first-round draft pick of both the National Football League’s Minnesota Vikings and the Buffalo Bills of the then-rival AmericanFootball League.
It was Eller who caused the now infamous fumble that led to teammate JimMarshall’s wrong-way run for a safety in 1964 in a game against the San Francisco 49ers.
Extremely quick and mobile for his size, Carl was an excellent defender against the run and superb as a pass rusher.
