Racked up 814 yards receiving and ran for 396 yards last year, scoring a total of 26 TDs. Also recorded 3 INTs on defense.

Marley is a 6’2” tall, 210-pound athlete that plays absolutely all over the field in high school. He takes snaps as a wide receiver, I formation tailback, wildcat quarterback, safety, and at times plays the responsibilities of a nickel corner. If that weren't enough, Marley is also an exceptionally dangerous punt and kickoff return man. Calling Marley versatile isn't doing justice to his skills and talents. He doesn't just play each of those positions, he plays each of them well, impacting games from each one. The versatility that Marley shows, his build, and the way that he plays is similar to former Vol and current Chicago Bear Cordarrelle Patterson. Like Patterson, Marley is a big, thick receiver that runs like a running back once he has the ball in his hands. Marley is also an excellent leaper with good ball skills. Tee Martin and Jim Chaney have shown a propensity for valuing receivers that regularly win jump balls, and Marley is certainly able to do just that. Marley is a strong receiver, fighting through contact well whether it comes at the line or when he is going up to make a catch. Marley also uses his size and strength to serve as a willing and able run blocker on the edge.

Again, like Patterson, part of what makes Marley so special as a receiver is what happens as soon as he catches the ball. Marley goes from a receiver to a running back in the time it takes him to secure the ball. He runs with power that is beyond most receivers and is extremely difficult to tackle. Marley is a different animal after the catch, expressing the speed and elusiveness of a deep threat receiver, but also the power and tackle breaking that comes from also playing as his team’s short yardage and goal line running back. This combination of talents and size makes Marley a difficult receiver to match up with. Even though he needs to develop a route tree and the finer points of being a receiver at the next level, it is most likely that Marley will play at receiver for the Vols if he stays on offense. This seems to be his most natural offensive position, and the Vols already have three running backs in their 2021 class that they really like.
Analysis: Four Star Kaemen Marley is Special Athlete for Vols
