Marquise Vann verbals to the gophers
he has offers from michigan state, conecticut, stanford, cincinnati, and quite a few smaller schools
Espn Rates him as #36 OLB and 78 overall.
Vann displays good playing strength; shows very good run stopping production. Has the size and athleticism for the outside linebacker position at the major level of competition. This player is a tough wrap and knock'em back tackler with the open field ability to be productive on special teams. Shows good flexibility, balance and agility; does a good job with K&D recognition skills against the run and pass; demonstrates good downhill fill and stacking ability vs. the inside run; also quick to the edge with very good pursuit angles. This guy has the playing strength to take on and defeat blockers when working to the point of attack; moves through traffic well, avoiding blockers with his quickness. We see very good potential as a coverage player; displays the ability to play in space; is light on his feet; can crossover for depth with eyes on the QB, showing good route awareness and break on the ball. His ball skills look good and we see potential as a man coverage player. We like the intense motor this prospect brings to the field; can create havoc in the backfield with his run/ pass blitz ability, demonstrating a good closing burst to the QB. We see a guy capable of making plays anywhere on the field. Vann could see early playing time as a situational and special team%u2019s player while polishing his overall skills.
