Marshall Musil RB/DE, 6-3, 215, Jr. La Crosse Already being recruited by several NCAA Division I and Div. II programs, Marshall Musil's senior year should be an interesting one with the La Crosse Leopards. His junior season wasn't too shabby, either. Musil played an integral part in La Crosse's 10-1 record and was an all-around key player on both sides of the football. "Marshall was a kid that each week was one of the best if not the best on the field," Leopard coach Ryan Cornelsen said. "He is a very talented young man with good size and a great mind for the game." Musil had a hand in nearly every aspect of the Leopards' offense, running for 745 yards on 87 carries (8.6 yards per carry), and catching 13 balls for 283 yards (21.7 yards per catch). He reached the end zone 17 times, helping the Leopards to their second-round exit from the 2-1A playoffs. "A lot of the stuff we did in the passing game and in the running game revolved around what he could do for us," Cornelsen said. "At 6-2, 220 and as agile as he is, we had to put the ball in his hands." As a defensive end, Musil had 51 tackles and earned a first-team defense spot in the Central Prairie League. He also was a first-team selection at running back. "In the big games, the playoff games, we felt like we had to give him the ball to give us a chance to win," Cornelsen said.

Three-star recruit Marshall Musil of LaCrosse, Kan., committed to Oklahoma on Thursday evening, bringing the Sooners' overall commitment total to 15.

Musil said he chose OU over Colorado State, Kansas, Kansas State, Louisville, Missouri, TCU and Tulsa.

Musil is expected to play tight end for the Sooners.

"When we first got there, it felt comfortable for my whole family," he said. "We felt it was a fit for us."

Musil first visited Norman a couple of weeks ago during OU's football camp.

"They liked how I moved for my size," said Musil, who is 6-foot-2, 220 pounds. "I probably won't play my first year because they have a lot of good tight ends, but they said they liked my size and speed for special teams."

Musil was attracted to the Sooners' style of offense, which at times will use three tight ends in a single formation.

"Their pro-style offense will help me," he said.

Musil played running back and linebacker for LaCrosse High School last season, rushing for more than 700 yards and 17 touchdowns while totaling more than 200 receiving yards.

He compiled more than 50 tackles defensively, too.
