Mikail “Jay” Marshall
Boys Soccer
Sophomore, Marathon
Starting as a freshman last season, Mikail “Jay” Marshall made a name for himself as one of the fastest defenders in the county. This year, head coach Kelley Cruz has changed his position in a move that has already paid dividends for the Fins.
“Mikail has transitioned from playing more defensive to becoming our starting striker,” Cruz said.
“He is a positive role model on the field and bridges the gap between the younger players and the older ones.”

In just two games, Marshall has become a force on the pitch, with an assist against Coral Shores and a hat trick against Westwood Christian. His speed, evasiveness, ball control and competitive nature make Marshall a threat against any team he and the Dolphins face, and though he is just a sophomore, his team respects and looks up to him. For his aggressive gameplay and solid teamwork, Mikail Marshall is this week’s Keys Weekly Athlete of the Week.
