A Tier 1 Athlete in the New Jersey 2030 class, via Prep Redzone Next as of August 2026.

Having watched him play twice in game situations in 2025-2026, and then again at The Rize 2026 in June, a kid like Taylor is why sometimes you have to trust your eyes in scouting. He tested OK at The Rize 2026, but did not standout by any means. However, when Taylor gets the ball in his hands whether at RB, Slot or as a CB the kid is a threat to reach the end zone every time. He should see substantial varsity time as a freshman.

With a nickname like “Glitch,” you know his quickness is going to grab your attention. Marcquise Taylor Marcquise Taylor 5'8" | 167 lbs | ATH Ewing | 2030 NJ operates with choppy, rhythmic footwork that keeps defenders guessing and off balance. His lateral burst on Saturday showed he can bounce plays to the outside and consistently find open space with ease. Once he sees a crease, he accelerates cleanly into it, making him a constant problem for defenses trying to contain him.

He’s been one of the top players in New Jersey’s class of 2030 the entire season and last weekend was no different. Going by the nickname “Glitch” he was seemingly playing at a different speed than other on the field. He lined up as a Running Back and a Defensive Back during the tournament, impacting the game on both sides of the ball. He gets the listing of an ATH because he could easily line up as a Slot on offense and is physical enough to play Linebacker on defense if he needed to. Taylor is, without question, a Top-100 player in the state of New Jersey for the class of 2030 and is currently undecided on where he will attend high school.

With the ball in his hands this young man is special. He has the ability to get positive yards anytime he touches the rock. He is also a tackling machine and psychical defensively and he is a pure all-around athlete to really pay close attention to. he’s a next level talent!
