The 6-foot-1, 230-pound senior defensive lineman tallied 71 tackles, including 25 for loss, and 23 sacks, leading the Bruins (12-0) to their first Class AA state championship since 2011. Marsh is believed to have set Capital’s single-season and career sacks record in 2022. He was named Montana’s Class AA Defensive MVP and is a two-time All-State selection.
