His name, Marlon Bridges. His high school is only 30 miles away from Auburn. He is one of the best FCS freshmen players right now.


And I'll just leave this here.
quote:


In his senior season at Lanett High School, in Lanett, Alabama, Marlon Bridges recorded over 90 tackles and was a key part of the offense as a running back. After sitting out as a redshirt last season, Bridges has been dominant for the Gamecocks.

He leads the team in total tackles with 39, has two interceptions, and an impressive four forced fumbles on the season. This safety has been all over the field this year. He's the best freshman in the FCS right now.

..... you realize being the best in FCS doesn't mean you'd be good in the FBS right?

if not then you know why Auburn didn't recruit him.

Did you know that a freshman eventually makes his way to being a junior or senior?

And this Marlon guy has the most tackles with the #2 FCS team in the country?

That is still a myth until proven otherwise

Gus shops for recruits on 247sports.com, he's their #2 customer behind Lil Nicky.

Man. I wonder how literally every other staff in the nation missed him too. What shitty coaches. I wish we'd hire Jacksonville st coach. Obviously best evaluator of talent in the nation.

His closest school was Auburn. And the JSU coach > Malzahn.
