Marcus Sales: From Quaran-tine to Scholarship | Charlotte News

Marcus Sales is turning heads—literally and figuratively. After smashing 1,000 receiving yards last season, stepping into leadership, and reshaping his school’s program, he’s now headed to Ohio University on a scholarship. His grind? Legendary. He’d call his coach late at night just to turn on the stadium lights for extra reps—a trait passed down from his dad, a college player who dreamed big. Even during seventh-grade quarantine, he turned downtime into dominance, transforming his body and mindset. And this isn’t the end—he’s got NFL dreams. The Big 22 Player to Watch series keeps rolling, next up: Chambers’ Keland Shelton. Voting opens Friday at 3 PM. Don’t miss Channel 9’s daily spotlight on local stars.
