Four-Star OT Marques Easley commits to Georgia

Four-star offensive tackle Marques Easley of Kankakee (IL) High announced his commitment to Georgia Saturday afternoon.

The 6-foot-6, 330 pounder chose the Bulldogs over Oklahoma, Alabama, and Tennessee.

Easley on why he chose Georgia

“What stood out about  Georgia was the balance between football and personal life. Georgia fits my personality. It’s a very competitive environment. Not too many schools are doing it like them. Georgia had things that show u life after football and the bigger world.”

Relationship with coaching staff + their plan for him

“I’m close with Searles, Manrey, and Coop. The way I see them using me is them putting the best of the best out there.”

The Illinois offensive tackle joins coach Kirby Smart and the Bulldogs’ No. 1 Class in the 2024 team rankings. He is accompanied by five-star quarterback Dylan Raiola, five-star cornerback Ellis Robinson IV, and others. 

Easley ranks as the No. 242 player in the On3 Industry Ranking, a weighted average that utilizes all four major recruiting media companies. He also tabs in as the No. 18 offensive tackle and the No. 5 player in the state of Illinois.

He currently does not have an On3 NIL Valuation publicly listed. The On3 NIL Valuation is the industry’s leading index that sets high school and college athletes’ projected annual value (PAV). The NIL valuation does not act as a tracker of the value of NIL deals an athlete has completed to date. It rather signifies an athlete’s value at a certain moment in time.
