Marquez White is the first four-star cornerback recruit we’ll cover of the 2013 recruiting class. White checked in at 6’1 175 pounds had a player rating of 88.59.

White was a dual-sport athlete, also playing on the basketball team. However, he committed full time to FSU football in 2015 and was the starter at the field cornerback position and became a standout.

He was only targeted on 7 percent of throws by opposing quarterbacks and finished the season with 25 tackles and an interception.

White started at the same cornerback position in 2016, and again had 25 tackles but also had two interceptions. White is projected to be drafted in the third or fourth round of the upcoming NFL Draft.

Grade- B+

White receives this grade because he was a valuable member of the FSU defense the past two seasons. He would have had a higher grade had he had a better senior season as he needed to improve his tackling and run support.

He’ll play on Sunday’s.
