4-star ATH Kaemen Marley – Vols 16th 2021 ESP signee

Kaemen Marley
(ATH) Ramseur, NC (Eastern Randolph HS)

Commit: 5/20/20
4-star on 247 Composite/Rivals/ESPN

Josh Ward’s Analysis: Marley is a terrific athlete who could play a number of positions in college. Look for Marley to add some weight and player linebacker for the Vols. He’s talented enough to play on either side of the ball.

Eric Cain’s Analysis: Marley is one of the more intriguing prospects Tennessee is bringing in because he can play all over the field – literally. The four-star played quarterback, running back, tight end and wide receiver in high school – as well as linebacker and safety on defense. I think Tennessee will start him out at outside linebacker to put his speed and athleticism to use rushing the quarterback. Regardless, he is a student of the game and is versatile and prides himself on that.
