Marqel Jefferson '25 Recruiting Profile

I have been playing football since I was Six years old in Pop Warner and the youth leagues. I am inspired to play football at the collegiate level. I know that playing in college is a once in a lifetime opportunity that could change my whole life. But I always look forward to the many opportunities I am given on the field to play my heart out.

I am always working to improve my skills as well as training to get bigger, faster and stronger and grow my knowledge of the game. I am a team leader/captain and try to lead by example while also encouraging and helping my teammates to improve as well. I am very coachable and strive to be one of the hardest working players in and off the field. Also, to be one of the hardest working recruits you’ll find.

In the classroom, I study hard and maintain a high GPA. I maintain to keep up my work as well as athletics since my grades are very important to me. I also volunteer at local or community jobs to help out and help my fellow students/ teammates if they are struggling in academics.

I want to attend a college where I can push myself in the classroom and on the football field. I am open to all options and want to ultimately find the right college match at the highest level of competition possible. I will always accept the challenge, and my love for the game is very encouraging for me. I hope to become a great role model to all my peers and make my parents proud. Not only do I play football for myself, I play the game for my family and the people around me to always see their smiles and make them proud. I will be very thankful for any opportunity that I am given.
