Marchello Draine '25 Recruiting Profile

Being one of the top running backs in the state of Illinois (link at the end), my goal is to earn a scholarship to play football at the collegiate level and really just see how far I can go in this career. I’m a driven young man with a deep passion for the game. Growing up football always been my passion, I’ve been playing since I was 7 years old. My mom and other supporters inspire me to strive for excellence in all aspects of life, encouraging me to be the best version of myself and to motivate those around me. They’ve also emphasized the importance of education and the opportunities it brings. I prioritize being a student before an athlete. I view football as a privilege, one that I fully appreciate. I’m confident in my skills both academically and on the field, and I’m committed to not only bringing talent to a team but also enhancing its character.
