RB Commit

.@LATechFB RB commit Marquis Crosby is America's leading rusher and he may be coming off of his best game -- 34 carries for 502 yards and 6 touchdowns.

That monster performance has led to @MarquisTCrosby1 being named the @SIAllAmerican Freak of the Week

Re: RB Commit

His little juke/jump cut move in that highlight video was Ryan Moats-esque. As was his ability to drag a defender or five (when he was touched). I hope he sticks!

Like you I hope this recruit sticks. Unlike our last RB recruit, I think we have a few more things in our favor this time. I do not think this guy will be a P5 recruit, he is small at 5'9" and 169-180 pounds (accordng to recruiting websites) and is only a 2-star recruit. Not sure what this bit of publicity might bring. I guess it would only take one P5 offer, if he wanted to go to a bigger school, but he goes to a pretty small high school (around 350-375 students). Currently he has 4 offers, us, East Carolina, Arkansas State and ULM. The only thing I worry about is he lives 30 minutes from Hattiesburg, not sure if he would want to stay closer to home. I am sure he is going to keep gaining weight (muscle) as he gets older. This guy could be great at Tech.

Let's hope he has something left in the tank when he gets to LA Tech.

Clearly he is the entire office with that many carries in a game. Defenses probably only game plan to stop him, yet he can still average 7.4yrds per carry.

Marquis just broke the Mississippi single season rushing record. According to 247 he still only has four offers: us, ECU, Arkansas State and ULM.

Could it be that he plays in the MAIS and those schools don’t get as heavily recruited?

I do think that is a big part of it. Yes, he plays in a small-school private league, not anywhere close to the New Orleans catholic league. He is also on the small side. His workload in college with be nothing like high school. The only real concern I have is Southern Miss. He lives about 30 minutes from campus. I do not think a Power 5 offer is in the works for him, PWO at best. Hopefully he sticks, it will be fun to watch him transitition to college ball.

Re: RB Commit

I think his size is more of a hindrance to bigger schools than what HS he plays for. If he can catch, we will utilize him like we do Smoke.

Re: RB Commit

We did alright with Arkansas's leading HS rusher. Be happy to have a rushing leader from MS.

At 5'9, 180, Marquis Crosby's height is right between Ryan Moats (5'8, 210) and Kenneth Dixon (5'10, 210). He's taller than Ryan Moats and Boston Scott (5'6, 203). He will of course put on a few pounds as he matures --just as we all did.

Absolutely, his size is a non-factor. If anything, it can be an attribute as he can hide behind the OL before bursting out for a long run....touchdown Bulldogs!

As we all know, Boston Scott had no issues with his size. And ask the NFL NY Giants about Boston...hah!
