This DC heavyweight wrestling champ is on track to being one of the top linemen in DC. He absolutely mauls defenders in the run and pass game, he’s dominant on both sides of the ball. Defensively he shows tremendous power off the line and makes plays behind the LOS.

Jin’s talent immediately jumps off of the screen. He is productive on both sides of the ball making very explosive play well into his film. Defensively h gets off the ball quick and violently, showing off his liner power. Offensively he has that mean streak you look for in your front 7, he buries defenders even when the play is ran away from him. Jin is an eyebrow raiser, and a prospect you need to at least have on your radar. Expect Marek to draw some college attention as his film circulates, after evaluating his film his future is looking very promising, no recruiting news just yet for Jin.
