WR Marquez Ezzard update

Dec 12, 2017

Mentioned on the podcast last week that Coach Dugans seemed to be locking in on Ezzard as the fourth wide receiver target and that it was a real possibility he ended up as a Cane.

I spoke to one source close to Ezzard this morning who confirmed that he is very serious about Miami and the Canes even hold a slight edge. One person who is working hard to recruit Ezzard behind-the-scenes is fellow Georgia product and QB commit Jarren Williams. Williams said he feels like there's a "real good" shot for the Canes here and noted that he will already be enrolled at Miami when Ezzard comes down to Coral Gables on January 18th weekend for his visit, so he wants to be in his ear the whole trip.

TBH only reason I like him despite his speed, which almost makes him not Miami quality, is his strength. Unlike Cager who is just big but lacks any strength, I think he's a guy that will get dirty. And despite being slow enough to get taken off the board entirely, I think we could really use that aspect of his game.

Still would rather have some other Florida WRs over him, but whatever

We have 3 currently... Please dont be that fan that believes that Fla only produces NFL talent...

We like that fade route and jump ball route to our WRs in the endzone which might be this kids meal ticket to be money for us

Isn’t hightower a cali kid?

4.78, wow I still have a chance! I'm old and I'm pretty sure I still can drop one lower than that. Of course, I'd pull a hammy or blow an ACL while slowing down. LOL

I'd rather have Meghan Markle, but like Austin, she's not available.

And although I like Austin, his level of competition makes the guys on Ezzard's film look like All-Americans.

Bruh I'm talking about guys like Kevin Austin, who IMO is just a better player.

Austin committed to another school and never seemed too interested in us. He's not an option.

These boys want track athletes instead of football players...because that’s how you win games apparently.

Personally I'm just a bit perplexed that his speed isn't supposed to be his strong suit, but his highlights are full of him catching the ball in stride with tons of separation. If he's supposed to be a big body, physical receiver, then I would love to see a bunch of plays where he is doing what Langham did to McFadden...straight up mossing DB's

Edit: Just to be clear, I'm not saying something is wrong with him having alot of separation...i just dont think that separation will be there in college unless he's extremely deceptive with his routes.

At first I didn't want him but I saw his actual senior film (which was recently uploaded) and it looked more so like 4.5 speed which is acceptable given his style of physical play.

Reminds me of a faster Kelvin Harmon from NC State.

Look at his Sr. film. He’s a bully with great hands, and moves. Not the fastest, but look at his offer sheet. U think those schools are into giving offers to scrubs? He’s a take in my book, based on that. Then I see the one handed “Moss” at the beginning of his video, and the stiff arm/choke slam he gave that poor DB trying to tackle him. Kids a grown *** man out there. Don’t let that 100m time fool u. We don’t know the circumstances there. His 200 time, based on his film, seems to be more accurate.

Kid runs a 4.5, there is no doubt about that. When I saw him play he was very physical and has a good separation move. He has this little push off that works with perfection.

Pretty impressive to go from a 4.8 to a 4.5 in one page

MR loves WRs that can block down field for the running game. He praised the willingness of Harley for his blocking and Harley is a smallish WR. At the March 2017 Nike in Atlanta Ezzard was measured at 6-1 and 1/2 and 213 pounds. The year before he was 195 pounds. In a local paper article he is now weighing 217 pounds and his game film show he is a powerful blocker downfield.

Really liked the catch lol. But as a recruit he reminds me a bit of Terrell Chatman, who I thought would've been good here. He's faster than what most people are saying but I feel like he's a step below Kevin Austin who could offer the same things. Still don't think he can come in and get plugged in, not because of lack of talent but because the talent he'll be competing with. I'm personally high on Njoku, and (based on the highlights) can't foresee him beating out Evidence, or being better than Brian Hightower.
