Early life
Marsh attended Oaks Christian School in Westlake Village, California. He was a member of PrepStar Dream Team and Tacoma News-Tribune Western 100. He was ranked as 22nd defensive tackle prospect nationally by Tom Lemming/MaxPreps during high school. He was selected to the GoldenStatePreps.com All-State first team and All-SoCal first team. He was named CIF-SS All-Northwest Division co-Defensive Player of the Year in his junior season. He played in the U.S. Army All-America Game after high school. He recorded 83 tackles, 23 sacks, in his senior season at high school.
Rivals rated Marsh as a 4-star prospect being the No. 4 defensive tackle, No. 6 prospect in the state of California, and the No. 33 prospect overall regardless of position. ESPN recruiting rated Marsh as a 3-star prospect being the No. 33 defensive tackle, and the No. 33 prospect in the state of California. 247 rated Cassius as a 4 star prospect being the No. 11 defensive tackle, and the No. 142 overall prospect (No. 114 composite ranking) regardless of position. SCOUT rated Cassius as a 4 star prospect as well. Many major college programs offered Marsh and it ended up coming down to UCLA and LSU. Ultimately, Marsh chose UCLA. However, Marsh had initially committed to LSU before, so Marsh actually flipped his commitment on LSU to go to UCLA in January 2010. Marsh's main reasoning for the change of heart was that by going to UCLA he would be able to be closer to home.

New England Patriots
On September 2, 2017, Marsh was traded to the New England Patriots in exchange for a 2018 fifth and seventh round draft pick.
