'21 NC ATH Kaemen Marley (Tennessee signee)

Frame: Tall and relatively long with broad shoulders. Lean muscle throughout the frame with room to add mass to the upper half.

Athleticism: Long strider with lower-body power and elite leaping ability. Runs with upright style. Quick enough to make the first defender miss with a stutter move while powerful enough to run through or over the next tackler. Extremely natural ball skills and field awareness.

Instincts: Just a football player. Lines up at running back, wide receiver and defensive back with considerable success from a production or flash standpoint. Oftentimes the best athlete on the field and proves it with the ball in the air on offense or defense with effortless range and ball tracking. Attacking defender with hammering physicality on defense.

Polish: Impact player in all three phases with a controlled, decisive approach regardless of assignment. Natural play-making ability and hands out of the backfield with vision and great power after the ball is in his hands. Subtle, yet effective quickness as a route runner and as cut-back runner from depth.

Bottom Line: Marley is a do-it-all athlete at the prep level with flash plays in at least three positions. He appears most effective with the ball in his hands as a running back or H-back, with strong vision, physicality and instincts on offense. He has the size and athletic base to develop into an offensive hybrid coordinators manufacture touches for in the running and passing game. Even before he hones in on any one particular role at the SEC level, he’ll be hard to keep off the field in college.

SI All-American Candidate Kaemen Marley Highlights and Evaluation
 
Bump, one of my favorite commits, this year. I know NC is not playing high school football, but I haven't heard anything about this kid, lately. I guess no news is good news. Griddie says he's a WR, but he is so versatile, if he doesn't end up at WR, I could see him playing safety or even growing into an OLB. Whatever or wherever, he's a balla, need to hold on to him
 
Yeah I think Eric Cain on a recent locked on Vols podcast said he was likely to be a linebacker here.

2:22 p.m. — Quick update on four-star Tennessee athlete commitment Kaemen Marley: I was told he’s supposed to be signing in the late afternoon or early evening hours. He’s waiting for his mom to be able to join him later today. Nothing to worry about there. He still appears to be locked in with the Vols. But it looks like it might be at least a couple more hours before his NLI is submitted.
