efficient, homegrown Louisiana Tech back with burst
In the 2019 season, DeAndre Marcus showed real juice for Louisiana Tech, logging 29 carries for 220 rushing yards and 1 touchdown, plus 2 catches for 12 yards—an eye-popping 7.6 yards per carry that hints at big-play ability[1][8]. He also flashed in a breakout game against UMass, where he ripped off 99 yards and a score on just 8 carries[10]. The differentiator here is efficiency and local toughness: a Ruston native with enough pop to punish missed tackles, plus proven production when given touches. If you need a compact, explosive runner with upside, he’s worth a look[1][10].
