Such a class guy and wonderful SU representative he was throughout his life.
 
Loved Marcus, we had some real high end talent back then, and he was one of the best of them all
That was right when I first started following SU football as a kid. Markus and Tim Green were the first 2 players that I remember being nationwide good and not just Syracuse good, if you know what I mean.
