NC State cornerback Devon Marshall is a 2026 NFL draft prospect who appears to be on the Jacksonville Jaguars’ radar.
As we discussed recently, the Jaguars won’t be hosting prospects on official pre-draft visits. But according to Aaron Wilson, the Jaguars are one of several teams to have met with Marshall virtually.
Jaguars’ 2026 NFL draft prospect to watch: CB Devon Marshall
Marshall has played over 2,100 career defensive snaps and spent the last two seasons at NC State after previously playing at Villanova. Throughout his career, he has been stingy in coverage, allowing a completion rate of just 49%, according to PFF. He’s also had excellent ball production, generating four interceptions and 20 pass breakups over the last two seasons.
Not to be overlooked either, but Marshall was one of PFF’s higher graded run defenders from the cornerback position.

For more on Marshall, here is what Pro Football Network had to say in their pre-draft scouting report:
“Marshall is undersized, but he has good mass for his frame, and he’s a reasonably explosive, fluid, and twitched-up mover with enough long speed to contend vertical and crowd WRs in recovery. He can match, redirect, and keep close depth in press-man, and also flashes great spatial reasoning and 2-on-1 awareness in zone.”
What is the Jaguars’ need at cornerback?
Adding Montaric Brown back into the mix greatly reduced the Jaguars’ need to address the cornerback position. He and Hunter will start on the outside, Lewis will be at the nickel, while Jones provides experienced depth.
I would guess we still see Gladstone add to this position in the draft to boost depth and competition on the back end, but no longer does doing so right away feel like a must. The draft board can dictate when Gladstone adds to this position.
