OCTR Episode #21: Cassius Marsh Interview

Westlake Village, California native Cassius Marsh was a high school star at Oaks Christian School. He was one of the top ranked defensive tackles in the entire country during his senior year of high school. The defensive force took his quarterback hunting talents to UCLA where he was a collegiate standout, as evidenced by his selection to the Pac-10 All-Freshman Team. The Bruin was selected 108th overall in the 2014 NFL draft by the Seattle Seahawks. During his seven seasons in the NFL, he’s played for seven teams and currently holds a spot on the Pittsburgh Steelers roster. As dedicated and as passionate as Marsh is about football, he’s equally as dedicated and passionate to gaming away from the gridiron. Not only is Marsh a successful professional football player, he’s a standout in the Magic: The Gathering world as one of the most recognizable faces and personalities in the hobby. The 6’4, 250-pound pass rushing specialist is actually a self-proclaimed “closet nerd” with a major passion for the trading card and game industry. It was a life-long dream and goal for him to eventually open a card shop of his own and that time is now. Marsh and life-long friend and business partner Nick Nugwynne are opening Cash Cards Unlimited, a gaming and sports card collectibles shop in Marsh’s hometown of Westlake Village, CA. The physical shop is just a few minutes away from Marsh’s high school football field.
