Keyonta Marshall will go down as one of the greatest defensive linemen in the history of Division II college football. He was the focus of every offensive line during his four-year career (2001-2004) with the Lakers and was undoubtably the most disruptive defensive linemen. Keyonta garnered every honor possible during his career, including being the only three-time GLIAC Defensive Lineman of the Year. As a three-time, consensus First-Team All-American, Marshall tallied 226 total tackles (128 solo/98 assisted), 25 quarterback sacks (-121), 66 tackles for loss (-218) and recovered five fumbles in 56 career games. Grand Valley State was nationally-ranked in the top five of every defensive category during his time anchoring the defensive line. In addition, GVSU was 51-5 during his career with two National Championships and three title game appearances.
