In the year 2013, he achieved national recognition by leading the country in sacks with an impressive total of 14.5. This outstanding performance earned him the titles of ACC Defensive Player of the Year and a third-team All-American.
Following his remarkable college career, Marcus was selected as a first-round pick in the 2014 NFL Draft, embarking on a professional career that included stints with the Philadelphia Eagles, Seattle Seahawks, and Washington Redskins.
