PHILADELPHIA – Jordan Marsh will join the Temple University men's basketball team for the 2026-27 season, head coach Adam Fisher announced Tuesday.
Marsh, a 5-11 guard from Monroe, N.C., spent the 2025-26 season as a key reserve at USC and starred at UNC Asheville during the 2024-25 season. He began his collegiate career at Appalachian State in 2023-24.
"We're very happy to welcome Jordan Marsh to our Temple family," Fisher said. "Jordan is a dynamic guard with great speed, quickness and the ability to create. He has shown he can score, lead a team and impact winning. We believe his pace, toughness and playmaking will be a great fit for our backcourt."
At USC, Marsh averaged 7.3 points, 2.5 rebounds and 2.3 assists, leading the Trojans with a 35.6 percent mark from 3-point range. He scored in double figures in eight contests, including a season-high 20-point performance against Maryland, adding four rebounds and four assists. Against Northwestern, Marsh totaled 19 points, knocking down all nine free-throw attempts against the Wildcats. In the Big Ten Tournament, Marsh nearly tallied a double-double with 13 points and nine rebounds, while adding five assists and two steals in his final game against Washington.
As a sophomore at UNC Asheville in 2024-25, Marsh garnered All-Big South First Team, Big South Newcomer of the Year and NABC All-South Atlantic District First Team honors, and was named a Lou Henson Award finalist, which honors the top player in mid-major college basketball. He made 29 starts, averaging 18.8 points, 4.2 rebounds, 3.7 assists and 2.0 steals while shooting 44.8 percent for the Bulldogs. The Monroe, N.C., native ranked second in the Big South in scoring and steals and sixth in assists. Marsh had a career-high 33 points and six 3-pointers against High Point, along with a career-high eight assists against Winthrop. He scored 10-plus points in 27 contests, 20-plus in 15 games and registered three 30-point outbursts.
As a true freshman at Appalachian State, he made 32 appearances, averaging 6.2 points, 1.5 rebounds and 1.3 assists. He scored in double figures six times, including a season-high 23-point performance against Louisiana.
"I chose to attend Temple University because it offers a great balance and fit for me between strong academics and competitive basketball," Marsh said. "I feel a genuine connection with the coaching staff, which has shown interest in my growth on and off the court. I want to be a part of a team that values hard work and discipline, and Temple has presented that to me. It is the right place to continue my education and basketball journey."
He enters his senior season with 1,005 career points, 241 rebounds, 209 assists and 109 steals, while shooting .432 from the field, .318 from 3-point range and .759 from the free-throw line.
Marsh played his senior season at Moravian Prep and was named the Big Shots Prep Nationals High School SLAM MVP after averaging 27.7 points per game and leading his team to the championship. He helped guide Moravian Prep to a 33-4 record as a senior after playing his junior season at Oak Hill Academy.
