Devon Marshall Transcript

Q: What's the biggest thing you learned towards the end of last year?

Marshall: "I just feel like last year, I just got used to how to play in this league. I'm just ready to take what I learned last year and take it to the next level."

Q: Who is standing out who you think can make an impact alongside you?

Marshall: "I'd say Jamel Johnson, Brian Nelson. We're all going to be playing corner this year, and I like Jaren (Sensabaugh) and (Jackson) Vick inside. I think this group is going to exceed last year's group."

Q: You're the veteran this year in the DB room. What's that like?

Marshall: "It's different. As soon as last season ended, I was put into a whole new role to lead this group, and it's been fun. I feel like I've been doing my job, trying to get the secondary together, go out and just become closer. It's working. I feel like we're a
good group."

Q: How are things different under DJ Eliot than they were last year?

Marshall: "This defense I think is way more versatile, showing different looks. We're going to be able to do a lot of different things."

Q: Where do you think you've grown the most since last year?

Marshall: "Definitely leading ... I think everywhere ... I like to look at everything I did wrong last season. Everything I felt like I needed to work on I worked on."

Q: What does success look like to you this season?

Marshall: "Success is an ACC Championship and having the best defense in the country."

Q: Do you think the back four or back five can be elite this season? What are some of the traits that lead you to believe that?

Marshall: "I feel like we're all ball hawks. We all get the ball."
