Getting to know: Marcus Felker

GREELEY, Colo. – Friday afternoon’s practice marked the 11^th of the 2011 fall camp for the University of Northern Colorado football team and the Bears are looking forward to their first scrimmage at the end of Saturday’s practice.

To celebrate the 2011 season, each practice prior to school starting uncbears.com will be highlighting a different senior on the roster. Each senior will be asked a series of questions and then those same questions will be asked to a roommate or friend on the team, as well as another player of the same position to test how well they know each other.

Marcus Felker enters his second season with the Bears at defensive tackle after playing his first two years at Wyoming. Felker is one of a handful of married players on the team and is looked to for his leadership off the field, as well as on by many of the players. In his first year with Northern Colorado, Felker started all 11 games. He made a career-best four tackles against Montana and had 1.5 tackles for loss against eventual national champion Eastern Washington.

Fellow Wyoming transfer Dylan Kildahl and redshirt freshman Lexington Smith – both who play on the line with Felker – were polled to see how well they know him off the field.

Kildahl and Smith each correctly answered the same three questions, and once again the two friends answered several the same, but differently than Felker. Stay tuned tomorrow to see how well the 2011 Bears team knows each other.
