| An outstanding Size/Speed ratio, Forston moves well enough that he plays every defensive line position on a very talented Miami Northwestern team. He is strong enough to take on a triple team at times during games, and quick enough to make a tackle on the sidelines. He will need to play with better pad level on the college level, but he is an terrific prospect. |
| Biography: |
Forston was named First Team FSWA All-State 6A and First Team All-Dade defensive lineman.
One of the top defensive line prospects in the country for the Class of 2008, Marcus Forston finished the season third on his team (the 6A state champions, 16-0 record) in tackles (92) and registered 20 sacks.
As a junior Forston was awarded with First Team All-State DL honors and was also First Team All-Dade County
He reported a 3.0 core GPA and a 27 ACT.
Forston: "My biggest strength is that I know the game. Some guys are good players, but not smart. I'm both. It's just as much a mental game as a physical one. I need to work on communicating with my teammates a little better. Sometimes I forget to do that." |
