It's exciting to see the busy spring the 2025 prospect has had. It's been full of travel, offers, and mastering his craft. I want to start it off with the programs he has visited this spring. Platz has taken trips to Old Dominion, Akron, Columbia, Villanova, Duquesne, and ending it off with a trip to Ohio to visit Miami-Ohio and Toledo. Kaleb has picked up two offers this spring. One from Cornell and the other from Robert Morris. If Platz camps well this summer expect more programs to pull the trigger.","_player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_2_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_2_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_2_player_details_selected_featured_image":"","_player_evaluations_2_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_2_player_details_player_name":"[player_tooltip player_id='1282074' first='Marcus' last='Battles']","_player_evaluations_2_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_2_player_details_graduating_class":"2025","_player_evaluations_2_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_2_player_details_height":"5'10u0022","_player_evaluations_2_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_2_player_details_weight":"160","_player_evaluations_2_player_details_weight":"field_65b288425ecf6","player_evaluations_2_player_details_position":"2495","_player_evaluations_2_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_2_player_details_school":"Montour High School","_player_evaluations_2_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_2_player_details_club_team":"","_player_evaluations_2_player_details_club_team":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_2_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_2_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"Here is another prospect out of Montour High.

He took a trip to Ohio to visit Bowling Green on 3/30. Marcus was then back in Ohio to see Toledo on 4/13. Battles visited Central State for their spring game. He later picked up his first offer from them on 4/20. I'm extremely happy for Battles. When you take the size away he is everything you want in a prospect.

This spring he's visited Pitt, Penn State, Notre Dame, Michigan State, and Maryland. He does hold an offer from Akron that he picked up back on 11/2. I'm excited to see how the Viking's staff develops the young upcoming Sophomore. He has the ability to be a big-time recruit, and with 3 seasons left to be played, he has time to prove it!
