🌊Transfer Player Spotlight🌊

🧱Center🧱

Gavin Marks- @_gavinmarks
6-3/305
Rolesville, NC

3⭐️⭐️⭐️/85
643 overall
39 IOL

Marks burst onto the scene at Mercer in 2025, starting all 10 games he appeared in as a true freshman a rare feat for an offensive lineman at any level.

His reliability was evident, he logged 634 offensive snaps without allowing a single sack, showcasing elite pass protection skills that are crucial for Tulane.

This zero sack stat line isn’t just impressive; it’s a testament to his technique, strength, and football IQ.

For Tulane, which ranked in the middle of the pack in AC offensive line play last season (allowing 2.1 sacks per game), Marks provides a plug-and-play option at center.

The Green Wave lost key interior linemen to graduation and the portal, creating a void that Marks can fill immediately with his experience.

Accolades and Upside:

Marks didn’t just start games he dominated them enough to earn FCS Freshman All-American honors from multiple outlets, including recognition as one of the top young offensive linemen in the country.

At 6 foot 3 and 305 pounds, he has the prototypical build for a Power Four-level center, combining size with agility to excel in both run blocking and pass sets.

Overall:

Potential to be an All-Conference player.

For those who missed it, here's my story focusing on #Tulane transfer portal commitment Gavin Marks, a redshirt freshman center from Mercer, who had a ton of good things to say about the Wave.

[Irish Sports Daily @ISDUpdate]

Former Mercer QB @Braden_Atkinson, who visited Notre Dame this week, can play at that level, according to his former HS coach.

“In high school, he was making college throws. Now that he’s in college, he’s making NFL throws.”

[Jake J. Weinstock @weinstock_jake]

Huge pickup. Have to imagine he’s the starting center in 2026. Allowed just 8 pressures and 0 snaps across 350 pass-blocking snaps in 2025, including just 1 pressure on 39 such snaps against Auburn, in November. Graded positively by PFF in both the run and passing game. RMFW.

[Tulane Tailgate @TailgateTulane]

BOOMM!! Tulane lands a commitment from Mercer center Gavin Marks. The Mercer center was named an FCS Freshman All-American after allowing zero sacks and just eight pressures on 634 snaps during the 2025 season. Big time get for the Wave! Roll Wave🌊
