Marist freshman Samuel Morales brings size, upside, and a reset-from-injury story up front
Samuel Morales is a **6'5", 300-pound freshman offensive lineman** for Marist who already profiles as a physically ready FCS body with rare early-career size and a strong prep résumé. Recruiting coverage says he missed the 2023 season because of injury, but returned in 2024 and was back to playing at a high level, with the added note that he is a **strong character prospect**. For a team, he’s interesting because the upside is not just the frame—it’s the combination of recovery, toughness, and room to develop into a dependable interior/edge lineman.
