Marquis Black Still Lining Up Next Recruitment Steps

Marquis Black
Defensive Tackle, Class of 2020
Eagles Landing Christian Academy, McDonough, GA
6-4, 280

For now, it’s still fair game for all schools. At 22 offers, most recently from Virginia Tech and Tennessee, Eagles Landing Christian Academy (Ga.) three-star defensive tackle Marquis Black has some big options from which to choose.

At this point Black, Rivals.com’s No. 44 defensive tackle, is in a holding pattern. He recently took a pair of unofficial visits that have put his recruiting in a bit more perspective, and has one official visit set. But overall, Black said he’s still sifting through which option would suit him best on and off the field.

“I’m looking for a school, because I know football doesn’t last forever,” he said. “I want to like it academically. Football-wise, make sure the coaches are straight up. Some try to hype you up, but what they say might not be true. I like when they’re straight up with me. Team chemistry is good, like a big happy family and the players have a good relationship with the coaches.”
