Marcell Blocker brings size, experience, and ball production to UTEP’s secondary
Blocker is a **6'3", 190-pound senior cornerback** who gives UTEP a long, physical press-CB profile and has already shown real playmaking value, with **18 tackles and 3 pass breakups in 2025** plus a decorated 2024 season at Florida Memorial, where he earned **Sun Conference Defensive Back of the Year** honors. His best differentiators are his length, ball skills, and ability to match up with bigger receivers, and EA’s 2026 ratings reflect that with strong **speed, acceleration, press, and zone coverage** marks. He looks like a fit for teams wanting an experienced, confident boundary corner rather than a developmental project.[1][2][6][13][14]
