Marshall Harrison Plumlee (born July 14, 1992) is an American former professional basketball player and an active-duty United States Army Ranger-Qualified officer. He played college basketball for the Duke University Blue Devils. He was one of the top-rated basketball recruits in the class of 2011, a McDonald's All-American, and is the younger brother and former high school and college teammate of both Mason and Miles Plumlee. High school career A native of Warsaw, Indiana, Plumlee joined his older brothers as boarding students at Christ School in Arden, North Carolina. During his four years on the basketball team, the Greenies won 139 out of 150 games, winning four consecutive state championships. Plumlee’s contribution to the team increased each year. By his junior year, when both his brothers were playing for Duke, Plumlee averaged 8.6 points, 8.0 rebounds, and 2.6 blocks per game. As a senior, Plumlee averaged 11.5 points, 10.3 rebounds, and 2.5 blocks per game. Following that season, the 6 ft 11 inch Plumlee was named the Gatorade Player of the Year in North Carolina and named to the 2011 McDonald's All-American Game. As a senior, Plumlee signed to play for Duke University. Plumlee’s five-player recruiting class for Duke in 2011 included Austin Rivers, Alex Murphy, Quinn Cook, and Michael Gbinije. Duke's class was the second-best recruiting class in 2011, according to ESPNU. College career In Plumlee's freshman year at Duke, both of his brothers were on the team and Marshall redshirted. He made his debut in 2012–13, but his playing time was limited by a stress fracture in his foot. In Plumlee's junior year, he saw limited action, playing 8.5 minutes per game in 30 contests. By his junior year, Plumlee had developed into a steady inside defender, backing up Jahlil Okafor, a freshman who went on to be the 3rd pick in that year’s NBA draft. That 2015 Duke team won the NCAA national championship. During his final season at Duke, Plumlee served as a team captain along with Amile Jefferson and Matt Jones. Plumlee started all 36 games that year, averaging 8.3 points, 8.6 rebounds, and 1.6 blocked shots per game.
