Following the departure of Jalon Daniels, Marshall steps into the lead role for an offense aiming to improve consistency. Kotelnicki emphasized physical play and versatility across the offensive line, where the coaching staff continues to cross-train multiple players, including DeAndre Harper and Amir Herring, to secure the strongest unit.
