Coaches Q&A with Brennan Marion:
Q. What are his strengths as a running back?
A. Last year was the first time ever playing the position and he had over 800 total yards. He did really well in our league in California. We had over 20 division one players in that league.
He is the type of runner that can run you over if he has to or he can put a move on you. He’s very good at making defenders miss him and making plays and has good hands.
This year he’s going to play a lot of receiver for us. We plan on moving him around.
Q. What are his strengths on defense?
A. He is a great tackler and his best attribute was creating 10 forced fumbles. He’s very good at putting his facemask on the ball and creating fumbles. Last year we used him in the box. We played a lot of wing-t teams.
Q. Is he playing special teams?
A. Yes, He will be one of the kids playing special teams. Justin is hard to tackle and makes plays.

Seen this kid on film! He is the real deal!! PA schools better be ready for this Cali kid because he will bring it every game. Colleges he is one of the best kept secrets in PA. Mark your calendar and go see him under the lights! You won’t be sorry.
I had the privilege of seeing this young man ,student/athlete in person during his team, Waynesboro spring practice. I was very impressed with his knowledge of the game on both sides of the ball. Very respectable… but when came time to compete…..VERY competitive… and aggressive. Just what every college coach needs on their roster.I told him to keep grinding… he is definitely a gem.
