Marquez Baxter brings rangy, playmaking upside to Kennesaw State’s front
Baxter is a long, lean **6-3, 190-pound** defensive lineman/outside-linebacker type who arrives at Kennesaw State with clear playmaking traits and a history of producing impact stats in high school, including **260 career tackles, 7.0 sacks, 26 tackles for loss, and 4 interceptions**. His appeal goes beyond numbers: he profiles as a disruptive, versatile defender with length, closing speed, and ball skills uncommon for a front-seven player, which can translate well in space-heavy schemes. He looks like a developmental fit for a staff that values upside, athleticism, and position flexibility.[1][5]
