There are many Mississippi high school quarterbacks to keep an eye on this coming season, and 2024 Biloxi High School Quarterback Zachary Marlin should be high on every list. As our latest diamond in the rough athlete, this 5’11, 165 pound passer has lots of potential in his game. His remarkable ability to evade the defense and make a play from anything is what stands out to me. Last season, he earned Second Team All-Region honors. Now as he looks toward next season, that First Team recognition is very achievable. Biloxi High School has a very talented team, and they are aiming to make a run this coming season. I think Marlin along with another previous DITR WR William Lai, the Indians have a fun season coming for them. Their offense has lots of potential to be an explosive one this season. Zachary came out and competed at our most recent Elite Camp, held at Northshore High School, and showed his talents and potential for next season.
