Coach Caleb Perry:
“Marcus Wimberly excels on both sides of the football. He’s very versatile playing multiple positions on both offense and defense. He plays with a reckless abandon at the safety position and looks to punish ball carriers. He had several games with at least eight tackles. He has a tremendous work ethic. Marcus also embodies everything you want in a player; gives great effort, has a great attitude and encourages his teammates. He is a coach on the field and always puts others before himself.”
