Marcus Mailei happens to be the only four year starter returning this season. I've followed weber state football for over 20 years and let me tell you,this young man will be playing on Sundays. Good luck Marcus and go wildcats!!

Mailei has all the tools; stay healthy, keep banging, and someone will give you a look at the next level. 'Cats defense seems to have beefed up, with Higgins in control and a stout defense, 'Cats could do some damage this year.

Marcus is the kind of leader that Weber has needed for a while. Not only is he a remarkable athlete on the field, he is an even better guy off the field!

McBride it's time you utilize this machine to crank out W.I.N.S. to your season. You will see the difference on the score board if you give 'The Solution' more carries and believe in what he is capable of doing. Bottom line is, I can't play a down for the Team and you won't put on pads, so let's give him the rock and watch him run all over the defenses! And you know he's a running back you made him the fullback.

Yes Marcus has alot of talent, he also has the greatest family and extended family. I remember him from Highland Little League always smiling and tough. He is as good on the inside as he is on the outside.

Marcus is as good as gold and this is his year in every aspect. He is a great guy off the field and a fierce competitor on the field. Way to go Kristen and Marcus-now that is team work!

Marcus is such a good ambassador for Weber State and there athletic program. Always a gentleman and fun to be around. A rock solid athlete and future NFL pick. I'm reading the paper and watching every game now. Go Marcus!
