Falcons UDFA profile: WR Keelan Marion

2025 Stats: 57 catches, 746 yards, 2 TD

Marion began his career at Connecticut, recording 32 catches for 563 receiving yards over two seasons before transferring to BYU in 2021. After failing to make much of an impact with the Cougars, Marion transferred to Miami in 2025 and had a career year.

He finished the season with 57 catches for a 746 receiving yards and two touchdowns. Marion recorded 133 catches for 1,871 receiving yards and nine touchdowns over his five collegiate seasons.

Marion, like the others on this list, has experience as a kick returner. He returned 50 career kicks for 1,174 yards and two touchdowns. Marion showed some ability out of the backfield as well, rushing for 161 yards and five touchdowns over the last three seasons at BYU and Miami.

At 6-foot, 195 pounds, Marion's role on offense would likely be in the slot. The former Hurricane is an above-average route runner and he's quick enough to be a force after the catch.

"Marion stems his routes well to attack angles and leverages to set up his route breaks. He is adept at locating and working into the defender's blind spot in bail technique (cover 3 drop)," wrote Bleacher Report's Damian Parson. "He runs good routes and operates in areas of the field that translate to the NFL."
