Looks like we have our kick returner, which showed in his highlights even without this honor.

Good write up. @Trinton Breeze I like the addition of the award summary.

Someone here told me Francis was in summary just ok last year per his standard. "Left too much meat on the bone" to be considered our best offensive lineman. I contend he just lacked the pancake highlight reels but was a consistent anchor every bit of the beast we saw before

/God please let our returner be a fing game breaker
/and for the love of God and Canes wear 36. (Completely aware that's not happening before you chumps start).

Would absolutely rule if he wears the big tearaway #35 and houses 3 kicks.

CIS sleeping on Marion for sure.

Return game was abysmal last year. Not that our O really needed the help but talk about momentum and game-changing moments a return can be. Will need more of that this year for sure

He was planning to wear that number but passed after he asked CIS if no.35 made him look fat.

Give me a big return vs ND or UF and I will forever be grateful

BYU was also counting on Marion to be their go to 3rd down WR. I am expecting a very good return guy, but hoping for more. He can atleast take the top off on O.
