A midfield accumulator who can play both in and outside the contest, Sam Marshall is one of the top prospects in this year's impressive crop.
Marshall is a Brisbane Academy player and will end up at the 2024 premiers come draft night.
One of the most consistent performers throughout the past few years, the Kawana Park product has terrific balance, utilising his strong work ethic to join in on the offensive chains.
A blend of speed and power, Marshall thrives when he's in space, cutting up the opposition through his ball use.
Hugh McCluggage took him under his wing ahead of the 2024 season, where Marshall earned Allies, VFL and AFL Academy appearances.
He capped off an outstanding year by winning the best on ground medal in the Talent League Grand Final, collecting 28 disposals and kicking two goals to secure another premiership win for the Sandringham Dragons.
Marshall didn't test at the Draft Combine due to illness.
