Georgia signs 4-star OT Marques Easley

We continue our National Signing Day coverage with Georgia football’s signing of four-star offensive lineman Marques Easley.

Easley plays high school football for Kankakee High School in Kankakee, Ill. The 6-foot-6, 330-pound offensive tackle is the fifth-ranked recruit in Illinois, the No. 243 recruit in the class of 2024 and the No. 21 offensive tackle.

Georgia held off Alabama, Tennessee and Oklahoma for Easley’s pledge this summer.

He joins an impressive offensive line haul made up of Daniel Calhoun, Nyier Daniels, Michael Uni, Marcus Harrison and Malachi Toliver.

The Dawgs have locked-in the nation’s No. 1 overall class.

Four-star class of 2024 offensive tackle recruit Marques Easley has some impressive highlights

6-foot-6, 330-pound offensive tackle Marques Easley committed to the Georgia Bulldogs on July 8. Easley committed to Georgia despite not putting the Bulldogs in his top three just a few weeks ago.

Easley is ranked as a four-star recruit and is a member of the class of 2024. The four-star picked Georgia over Tennessee, Alabama, and Oklahoma.

Marques Easley plays high school football and basketball for Kankakee High School in Kankakee, Illinois. The elite offensive tackle is the No. 261 recruit in the class of 2024 and the No. 21 player at his position. Easley is the No. 5 recruit in Illinois in the rising senior class.

On film, Easley shows great mobility. Easley gets downhill quickly and is a very effective run blocker. The four-star is good at pulling, which would be very helpful for him if he ever bumps inside and plays offensive guard. Easley primarily played left tackle for Kankakee as a junior.

Georgia football offensive line coach Stacy Searels helped the Dawgs gain four commitments along the offensive front in early July.

Easley joins fellow Georgia offensive line commitments Michael Uini, Marcus Harrison, Daniel Calhoun, Nyier Daniels, and Malachi Toliver. The Bulldogs already hold 26 total commitments and the No. 1 recruiting class in the country.

Decision date approaching for 4-star OT Marques Easley

Is Georgia in the mix for 4-star OT Marques Easley?

Gators get this behemoth offensive lineman on campus this weekend.

Florida football gets set to host a handful of high school recruits this coming weekend, including four-star offensive tackle [autotag]Marques Easley[/autotag] out of Kankekee (Illinois). The 6-foot-7-inch, 300-pound o-line prospect is expected to arrive in Gainesville on Friday for his first-ever visit to the Swamp, according to Swamp247.

The coveted pass protector’s main point of contact with the Gators so far has been offensive coordinator/offensive line coach Rob Sale and the two keep in regular contact with each other.

“Things have been going pretty good,” he told Swamp247. I talk with the offensive line coach and the assistant offensive coach. Coach Sale, he has been telling me a little bit about himself for a while. He’s told me how this is his second year at Florida and I thought he did pretty good so far there. He’s had some guys taken in the draft over his career and will have another one this draft. He’s coached in the league too. He said he really likes how aggressive I am and how athletic I am.”

The 2024 recruit currently holds over 30 offers from schools around the nation and has already mapped out three official visits this summer with the Georgia Bulldogs, Tennessee Volunteers and Oklahoma Sooners on tap for June. He reportedly is looking to use all six of his official visits — including the additional allotment for prospects — which leaves three spots remaining for the Gators.
