is one of those offensive tackle prospects you can’t help but take notice of. At 6’7”, 280 pounds, he checks all the boxes physically, but his grip strength and ability to control defenders in pass protection truly separate him.
Currently ranked as Prep RedZone’s No. 5 tackle, Marlen recently dropped a Top 7 that includes some serious national brands: North Carolina, Illinois, Texas A&M, Syracuse, Tennessee, Stanford, and Penn State.
If I’m reading the tea leaves, Penn State feels like the leader in the clubhouse. They have a strong track record developing linemen, and their Big Ten pedigree aligns well with what Marlen brings. But don’t sleep on Syracuse. Coach Fran Brown’s deep connections to North Jersey and aggressive in-state recruiting make the Orange a real contender.

will be a difference-maker up front no matter where he lands. Expect his decision soon, and expect that program’s offensive line to improve.
