Player Review
Aaron Perez (4-22):Marcus has improved tremendously as a punter. At the recent Spring Seattle Punt camp, Marcus showed off his technical and fundamental improvements. Marcus had some great punts during training. His best punts went 40 3.98 and 44 4.45. Marcus is a pure two-step punter with a very strong leg. His best punt directionally was going right 40 4.29. Marcus really was a late bloomer with his punting and is just now coming into his own. I am excited to follow his journey next year at Carleton.
Marcus is an excellent high school kicking prospect. He is a good looking athlete with a powerful leg. Marcus does a great job on field goal. He gets the ball up well and easily has 50+ yard range off the ground. His kickoffs are coming along nicely. He drives the ball 60+ yards with 3.75+ hang time. Also a solid punter. A competitor that does well under pressure. He has shown steady improvement from camp to camp. I expect him to stay on this path. Marcus is a fine young man that is always a great pleasure to work with. He is one of the hardest workers out there. Strong prospect. Fantastic addition for Carleton!
