Former Auburn quarterback Nick Marshall, 31, was arrested last week in Columbus, Georgia, and faces a gun possession charge, according to Muscogee County jail records.

Jail records state Marshall was booked into a Columbus-area jail at 4:16 p.m. on Nov. 8.

WRBL, a television station in Columbus, reports Columbus police officers stopped Marshall’s car near 35th Street and River Road. Officers found an “automatic handgun that had been modified” in the car, WRBL reported.

Both Marshall and 32-year-old woman Lanequa Breshay Borders who was in the car with Marshall were arrested and both face a charge of “possession of sawed-off shotgun, sawed-off rifle, dangerous weapon, or silencer,” according to jail records.

Marshall quarterbacked Auburn in the 2013 and 2014 seasons including leading Auburn through a magical 2013 year that ended with a loss in the BCS National Championship game against Florida State. Marshall was the quarterback for the famous “Prayer at Jordan-Hare” pass to wide receiver Ricardo Louis to beat Georgia in 2013.

Marshall initially played at Georgia in 2011 before he was kicked off the team for an undisclosed “violation of team rules.” He then went to Garden City Community College before transferring to Auburn.

He had a career in the NFL from 2015-2018, and has been a member of the Saskatchewan Roughriders of the Canadian Football League since.

Marshall is listed on the Roughriders online roster as of Nov. 12.
