Another Show-Me State standout, 2024 Raytown South 6’1, 180 lb. WR and DB Marcus Neal Marcus Neal 6'1" | 180 lbs | ATH Raytown South | 2024 State MO hit the summer camp circuit hard and has strongly been on the radars of NDSU, Kansas State, Iowa State, South Dakota State, and a share of other potential suitors, but things got hot and heavy on October 8th when a visit to Ames paid off in the junior’s first P5 offer from the Iowa State Cyclones. Iowa and Nebraska then followed up with gameday visits, and last Saturday Neal was in Lincoln to check out the Huskers. The midseason tape displays a fluid and explosive WR with dangerous and strategic releases at the LOS, speed to beat corners vertically, and great ball skills that allow him to pluck the ball out of the air with concentration, remain upright and continue forward for more yardage and splash plays. His athleticism is also an asset with the ball in his hand, and with how smoothly he is doing a ton of different things in the passing game I’m confident more P5 programs will join the fray before this season ends.
