Going into the 2020 football season, LonghornsWire will be looking at each scholarship player listed on the Texas roster.
Over the summer, each profile will cover where the player is from, how recruiting websites rated them coming out of high school, and what role they will play for Tom Herman this season.
Today, we will be looking at senior defensive end Marqez Bimage.
Marqez Bimage, Defensive end
Height: 6-2 / Weight: 270
Class: Senior
Hometown: Brenham, Texas
High School: Brenham
HS ranking (247Sports): Three-star / No. 34 position / No. 73 in-state
HS ranking (Rivals): Four-star / No. 27 position / No. 44 in-state
Analysis: One of the more experienced players on Texas’ defense, Marqez Bimage is entering his senior season. Coming out of high school, the defensive end was a three-star on the 247Sports composite and a top 75 player in the state of Texas.
Bimage did not get a start last season but did play in all 13 games. He had 12 tackles (10 of which were solo), a sack, a forced fumble, and a fumble recovery. Sitting behind Malcolm Roach on the depth chart, Bimage was a solid rotational player for Tom Herman.
Going into the 2020 season, much of the same will be asked of Bimage. Ta’Quon Graham is expecting to take over as the starter opposite of Joseph Ossai. The position the Longhorns struggled the most at last season, Bimage will be looking to improve the unit by producing a couple of sacks.
