Kevin Marks Jr a RB from Buffalo has entered the portal. He is exactly the kind of player I am hoping Wake will make a run for in the off season.
A MAC player who is looking to carry the load in a more competitive league. 112 carries for 741 yards and 7 TDs this season, while splitting time with Jarett Patterson who will be going to the league soon. Marks is from Norfolk, VA, so proximity could be a selling point. No idea about grades though. He wasn't heavily recruited out of HS, but his production will change that now.
Even if the staff is really excited about Towns, behind CBS we have Ellison, who just converted from WR and Cooley, who did not play last year. Clawson has shown a preference for using multiple backs in a season, so it would make sense to bring in a guy who can handle double digit carries a game. Depth has really taken a hit with 2 RB's entering the portal, and you can tell the staff wasn't expecting it as they have only offered 11 RBs (compared to 37 WRs).
Whether Wake goes after him is really going to depend on grades. Whether or not he is interested in coming here is a different story, but he would be a great addition to our running game next season.
