Marlon Gunn Jr. is East Carolina’s steady, efficient senior back with big-play pop
In the 2025 season, Marlon Gunn Jr. gave East Carolina a reliable one-two punch of efficiency and explosiveness: 112 carries for 582 rushing yards and 6 touchdowns, plus 6 catches for 29 yards. He’s the kind of RB who keeps the offense on schedule, with enough burst to finish drives and enough experience to trust in big moments. The differentiator is polish, not flash—he’s a seasoned, tough runner who produced his best season yet after earlier years as more of a complementary piece.
