Mark is one of the more explosive juco safeties in the country. He brings great range and size to the table and has the ability to make the big play.
A physical safety that excels in run support, Lyles is further ahead in attacking the line of scrimmage than he is in pass protection sets early in his junior college career. He has very good closing speed and can chase down offensive players that have broken containment, or he can turn around a running back that's broken through the front seven. Extremely tough player that looks the part of a run supporting Free safety - Scott Kennedy

Richards does have a very strong arm and can be deadly accurate at times. Throws a very pretty deep ball and hits receivers in stride with the ball. Athletic quarterback that can buy time for his receivers or tuck the ball and make plays with his feet. A player that has all the tools, but doesn’t have good mechanics and forces things into coverage causing too many turnovers. Simply needs some coaching and discipline. - Matt Alkire
Biography:
As a junior, Richards led Grove High to a OIAA Class AAAA state championship. He was named the Associated Press Class AAAA Player of the Year. He also earned All-State honors.

COACH QUOTE: "Mark is a special athlete. He's one of those special players that can probably play any position on the football field. He plays defensive end, tailback, some wide receiver, and he's our punter and kicker. He can do it all.

Kyle Larson is easily one of the top players in the entire country. If you were building a running back from scratch you would try to model him after Larson. He has the size to be an every down back and the explosiveness, speed, vision, and cut-back ability to take it to the house any time he touches the ball. -Greg Powers

Williams is a very efficient passer. He has outstanding size and a very strong arm, almost too strong at times. He is very poised and makes good decisions. Williams also gives you that threat to run. He can make all the throws in the pocket or on the move. He has a quick release, but needs to fine tune it mechanically. He seems to have a little hitch at times. He seems to get better as he gets more reps. - Bob Lichtenfels

Coach 9's:" I am honored to bring Marcus to Corvallis, and to meet one of my heros Doug Williams...and it all started when...
We took this trip to Garden Grove
It smelled like Lou-dog inside the van, oh yeah
This ain't no funky reggae party, $5 at the door
It gets so real sometimes, who wrote my rhyme
I got the microwave, got the VCR
I got the deuce-deuce in the trunk of my car, oh yeah
If you only knew all the love that I found
It's hard to keep my soul on the ground
You're a fool, don't fuck around with my dog
All that I can see I steal, I fill up my garage
Cause in my mind
Music from Jamaica, all the love that I found
Pull over there's a reason why my soul's unsound
It's you
It's that shit stuck under my shoe
It's that smell inside the van
It's my bed sheet covered with sand
Sitting through a shitty band
Getting dog shit on my hands
Getting hassled by the man
Waking up to an alarm
Sticking needles in your arm
Picking up trash on a freeway
Feeling depressed everyday
Leaving without making a sound
Picking my dog up at the pound
Living in a tweaker pad
Getting yelled at by my dad
Saying I'm happy when I'm not
Finding roaches in the pot
All these things I do
They're waiting for you....Welcome to Corvallis Marcus Williams!

A big, mobile fullback, Lewis is very good as either a lead blocker or dropping back in pass protection. He's a straight ahead runner with soft hands in the passing game. He's not going to make many players miss, and it doesn't look like he minds as he relishes contact. Has good balance and has quick feet. Blue Collar fullback prospect with outstanding size and team effort mentality - Scott Kennedy, Scout.com.

James might be the most explosive player in the Class of 2017 in the state of California this year. He plays some quarterback, some running back, some receiver, and he returns kicks and punts. He's a major threat every time he touches it. He has big time speed and his short-area quickness is very impressive. He'll likely be a slot receiver at the college level and look for him to make an impact right away no matter where he goes. -- Mike Bakas

Pass Protection
One of the best run blockers in the West. Martin gets to the second level as well as any lineman in the country. He is a devastating run blocker. Works well in pass pro and in space, but lets defenders into his chest, which when playing against bigger opponents could give him problems. Great foot speed and agility for a big guy. Will be a very solid interior lineman at the next level.

Jared Martin says he can bench press 450 pounds, squat 680 and has a 26-inch vertical jump.
Martin reports an impressive 4.3 core GPA (with honors classes) and is taking the ACT in April.

Andre is a nice sized cover corner who gets better with every rep and only lacks experience at the position. He has the ability to a true lockdown corner. Right now he relies a lot on instinct, but is getting better at being aware of everything that is going on around him and jumping routes. He is tough to beat in press coverage and he will hit you. Plays very physical football and is not afraid of contact. Bob Lichtenfels/Scout.com
