Marquez Spells brings big-play juice to Morgan State’s backfield
In the 2026 season, Marquez Spells has already flashed explosiveness for Morgan State, leading the Bears with 39 rushing yards on just 2 carries and averaging 19.5 yards per rush through the latest available stats. He’s a compact, versatile back who arrived with legit production behind him: in 2025 at Newberry, he posted 458 rushing yards, 302 receiving yards, and 4 total touchdowns, plus a 96-yard kick-return score, so he’s more than a one-lane runner. Morgan State also praised his execution and preparation in spring camp, a nice tell for a player who looks ready to carve out a high-impact role.
