Brady Marchese is an American football wide receiver for the Auburn Tigers.

Early life

Marchese played for Cartersville High School in Cartersville, Georgia.[1] He was rated as the number 42 wide receiver in the country and the number 29 player from Georgia by 247Sports.[2] In his junior season, Marchese totaled 1,051 yards and 11 touchdowns. He then caught 41 passes for 981 yards and 15 touchdowns in his senior season.[3]

College career

Marchese initially committed to the Georgia Bulldogs in March 2025.[4] He flipped his commitment to the Michigan Wolverines in early December.[5] However, after head coach Sherrone Moore was fired later that month, he requested a release from his signing and committed to Auburn.[6]

Auburn

After signing, Marchese became one of three freshmen receivers on the roster.[7] With a top speed of 22 miles per hour, ESPN writers Craig Haubert and Tom Luginbill wrote that Marchese fit neatly into Auburn's current system, and that he had a clear path to become one of the team's leading playmakers.[8][9]
