Elite / Top 100

Miami EDGE signee Marquise Lightfoot (No. 10) earned his fifth star and leapt into the top ten with a masterful showing at the All-American Bowl. The future Hurricane defender has the best motor of defensive prospects we’ve evaluated in the 2024 cycle. Long considered as a top 50 prospect for On3, the Chicago native showcased arguably the best pure speed rush we saw from the EDGE group at either all-star game. At 6-foot-5, 215 pounds with plus length, Lightfoot is a top athlete at the position. He gave several top offensive tackles fits over the course of the week. The frame, athleticism, pass rush skill set and with his elite effort level point to a promising future.
