Andrew Marsh broke a defense in his senior season debut on Thursday, the first day of the 2024 Texas high school football season.

The four-star Michigan commit returned a kickoff for touchdown in Katy Jordan's 66-20 win over Cypress Creek.

Marsh, the nation's No .10 receiver and No. 66 overall prospect in 2025 (247 Sports), is one of the top wide receivers the state.

Marsh checked in a No. 22 in SBLive's Top 100 most impactful Texas high school football players entering the season.

He committed to Michigan on Aug. 20 over Texas, USC, Washington and Colorado, telling SBLive he wants to get a good education and develop into a pro receiver.

“The history says it all, really," he told SBLive. I’m glad to be a part of something, something bigger than myself and be a part of a team, community and school like that. I hope I can create my own piece of history.” 

As a junior, he caught for 1,158 yards and 15 touchdowns, upping his production from 845 yards and 11 TDs as a sophomore.

Jordan plays at Fort Bend Travis next on Sept. 6 at 7 p.m. Central time.
