“Marcus is 6-7, 260 with a 7-foot wingspan and a nose for the basketball,” Vermont Academy coach Alex Popp said. “He has soft hands and impressive footwork. Because of his ability to rebound the basketball, he will be an impact player at Temple or VCU. He’s probably the second best rebounder to ever wear Vermont Academy black and orange, the first being Tyrique Jones (who plays at Xavier). Marcus still has his senior season to change that opinion, though.”
Santos-Silva joins point guard Lavar Batts in VCU’s 2017 recruiting class.
