On November 15, against Northwestern at Wrigley Field, Marsh recorded career-highs with 12 receptions for 189 yards; each program records for a freshman. He eclipsed 100 receiving yards for the second time this season, and became the first Michigan freshman wide receiver to record multiple 100-yard performances since Roy Roundtree in 2009. His 189 yards is tied for the sixth-most receiving yards in a game in program history, and the most since Jehu Chesson recorded 207 yards in 2015. His 12 receptions is tied for the fifth-most in program history and the most since Braylon Edwards in 2004.[11] He was subsequently named the Big Ten Conference Freshman of the Week.[12] In the 2025 Citrus Bowl against Texas, he recorded his fourth touchdown reception of the season.
