6-5, 335-pound Marques Slocum recently completed his Southern and Midwestern college swings. The 4-star defensive tackle/offensive lineman visited schools such as UNC and Miami (Fl) before heading to the Midwest, where he visited Michigan, Indiana, Notre Dame, Wisconisn, Iowa and Michigan State, respectively.
