Toughest SEC environment

When asked to discuss the toughest road environment he’d had a chance to play in, Marks picked the Texas A&M Aggies. According to Marks, they’ve got one of the toughest environment in the SEC.

Physical matchups against Kentucky

Marks was asked about the physicality of the Kentucky Wildcats and, well, he was pretty complimentary of all their defense brings to the table.

Honoring Mike Leach

As the Mississippi State football program mourns the loss of Mike Leach, Marks said the Bulldogs have a pretty good plan to honor him going forward.

New offense under Kevin Barbay

With a few changes on the Mississippi State football coaching staff, there’s a new offense and new offensive coordinator. And that means that Marks will see some different opportunities in 2023.

The transition from Leach to playing for Zach Arnett

Zach Arnett has been entrusted with the future of Mississippi State football. And it looks like Marks is pretty impressed with all that Arnett brings to the table.

Development of running back room

Mississippi State’s running backs had a pretty impressive year in 2022. There’s a new scheme and some new faces, but it appears that Marks is still really confident and comfortable in Starkville and with his teammates and their ability to perform.

Appealing aspects of Starkville

Starkville is a pretty great place, even if some outside of the Mississippi State community don’t see it that way. Marks had some pretty notable love for Mississippi’s College Town.
