Kendrick Marshall enters his second season as the Texas Lutheran special teams coordinator and linebackers coach in 2022.

Marshall comes to Texas Lutheran after spending the past two seasons as the special teams coordinator and defensive backs coach at Hendrix College where he helped developed three All-SAA defenisve backs in two seasons.

Prior to Hendrix, Marshall spent the 2019 season at Louisiana College where  he developed freshman C.J. Lewis into a second team All-American Southwest Conference return specialist. The Wildcats ranked second in the league in punt return defense and third in net punting.

Marshall spent two seasons (2017-18) on staff at NAIA member Southwestern Assemblies of God (Texas). In 2018, he coached defensive backs and served as an assistant strength and conditioning coach and video coordinator. The Lions ranked 31st nationally in third down percentage defense, 36th in pass defense efficiency and 46th in pass defense per game. The team led the Sooner Athletic Conference (SAC) in interceptions. Three of Marshall's defensive backs were All-SAC selections, including Christian Cross, who broke the school's single-season record and ranked fourth nationally in interceptions. Cross was a consensus All-American as a freshman.

In 2017, Marshall coached running backs and was the director of football operations for the Lions, who went 8-3 overall and 7-1 in the Central States Football League. The squad ranked 20th nationally in scoring offense, 34th in total offense per game and 37th in first downs per game. Marshall's running backs totaled a single-season school record 26 rushing touchdowns. Two of Marshall's running backs - J.P. Lowery and Ricky Bickham - were voted all-conference, as the duo combined for 143.3 rushing yards per game. Lowery became the most productive running back in Southwestern Assemblies of God history, establishing himself as the school's all-time leading rusher while totaling a single-season school record 13 scores on the ground as a senior.

Marshall played defensive back for four seasons (2013-16) at NAIA member Kansas Wesleyan. In 36 career games, he totaled 79 tackles, seven tackles for loss, one sack and three pass breakups.

As a junior, Marshall helped the Coyotes go 10-2 overall, 8-1 in the Kansas Collegiate Athletic Conference (KCAC) and reach the NAIA National Championship first round for the first time in 13 years. The 10 wins set a school record. Marshall spearheaded a defensive unit that ranked 15th nationally in scoring defense per game, 23rd in pass defense efficiency, 28th in total defense per game, 33rd in pass defense per game and 37th in rush defense per game in 2015. 

In 2016, Marshall helped guide Kansas Wesleyan to a 9-2 overall mark, including 7-2 in the KCAC. The Coyotes ranked 30th in the country in pass defense efficiency, 34th in pass defense per game, 38th in scoring defense per game and 45th in total defense per game.

In his last two seasons with Kansas Wesleyan, the Coyotes spent 22 weeks ranked in the Top 25, reaching as high as No. 10 in the polls three times.

Marshall's 2013 defensive unit ranked 36th nationally in pass defense per game and 49th in pass defense efficiency.
