For Marcellus Earlington, the choice wasn’t even close.Yes, he was a three-star defensive end for one of New Jersey’s football powerhouses, Don Bosco Prep. He racked up close to 15 major Division I offers, from the likes of last year’s runner up University of Georgia, according to the recruiting website 24/7 Sports.He was also a two-time all-state basketball player that helped lead the Ironmen to a 58-5 record over his final two seasons and back-to-back New Jersey state championships. Basketball ultimately won out when Earlington decided to commit to St. John’s in April, and he isn’t looking back.“I just followed my heart,” Earlington said.
