Sorry if this had been posted, but this kid sounds like an all around great guy. This is the kind of kid you can get behind and cheer for. Hope for some great success for Marcus.

Have you seen what his major is listed as, per hawkeyesports.com? Pretty amazing if that is accurate. Sounds like an outstanding individual, on and off the field.

Astrophysics major

Wow! That's probably one of the most impressive area's of study I've seen coming from a college football player, not attending Cal, Stanford, or Harvard.

Good thread. I didnt know that much on Coker. Sounds like a real class act. Kirk knows how to pick em.

I definitely agree that he's a kid you can get behind.

Yeah, that major is impressive, but the most impressive to me?

"named as state Gentleman of the Year in both 2009 and 2010, posting over 1,000 hours of community service."

Now, that's just incredible!

As far as his on field game, he reminds me a lot of Shonn Greene, hopefully he can continue that style and be healthy!
