That's one tough lookin' kid

 

[SWFLvol33]

former teammate of mine. Has a really good motor but i don't think hes a take in this class unless we miss out on a lot of d linemen. Was a FSU commit before they won the title.

A Maybe

:question:

 

[ssutvols]

the first minute or two of his film is stupid funny

 

[TMatthews19]

Especially when he tackled the RB and the QB

The name Marlon Gonzalez is one to keep an eye on. The defensive lineman was once committed to Florida State but the two agreed Gonzalez would be a better fit somewhere else and Tennessee has developed a good relationship with him. Don't be surprised if you see him visit Knoxville this summer.

Will be a 4 star after this year IMO

 

[ACvol3]

Especially when he tackled the RB and the QB

Lol at the same time

 

[Volunteer_Kirby]

Looks like a take. Offer list far outweighs rating. Wouldn't pay attention to stars on this one.

Lol at the same time

Yeah I couldn't tell who had the ball and then I eventually realized it didn't matter

"Willie Martinez saw defensive lineman Marlon Gonzalez today in South Florida but the real connection there is Robert Gillespie. One of Gonzalez's coaches is a former teammate of Gillespie's, Earnest Graham (Vol fans, I'm sure, remember him)."

Tennessee defensive backs coach Willie Martinez was in Florida this week and saw several prospects including Marlon Gonzalez.

Gonzalez seems to be very interested in Tennessee and wants to make it up to Knoxville this summer. He seems to have hit it off with Gillespie as the Vols are recruiting him very hard.

This dude looks like a beast. He's big, quick, gets off blocks quickly and hits like a ton of bricks. I don't know if we end up having a place for him, but I like his film.

After originally committing to Florida State last year, Marlon Gonzalez backed off his commitment this spring and decided to open things up. Since the decommitment Gonzalez has seen numerous schools step up their recruitment of him and that includes Tennessee.

"These last couple of weeks they've really been recruiting hard and they are coming after me really hard," Gonzalez said. "I talked to coach G a lot and he's a good friend of my head coach. They used to play at Florida together." Gonzalez's coach, Earnest Graham, is a former Florida running back like Gillespie and that's helped Tennessee build a solid foundational relationship with Gonzalez early on.

"They talk to me a lot and they make me feel like I'm apart of the Tennessee family," Gonzalez explained. "Coach Graham has known coach G for a while and he really trusts and respects him. I'm going to always take coach Graham's advice and I've been talking to coach G lately and we've really bonded and he's lived in Florida so I feel like he's somebody that would look out for me."

"I'm just trying to have fun with it. Sometimes it gets annoying but I'm grateful," Gonzalez said. "I'm just trying to take it day-by-day and I'm very grateful. My mom is going to be the biggest factor in my recruiting so I just talk to her about schools all the time. Right now we are trying to figure where we want to go and Tennessee is up there."

Gonzalez plans to visit many schools in the south this summer, including Tennessee.

 

[Ron Swanson]

He's a 3-tech defensive tackle at the next level. I think he played some DE when he was younger and that's why he was originally ranked there. I think they like him as an inside guy.
