Early years
Marquees Acho was born to parents Jamal and Lilian Acho in April of 2011. Marquees' mother was a famous interpretive dancer, appearing on America's Got Talent season 16. Marquees father was a famous cricket player, who appeared in multiple cricket championships. Instead of following in either of his parents' footsteps, Acho became a point guard. At a young age, he attended prestigious camps. He attended East Boston High school, and played in 2 state championships, having lost both of them. He became a 3 star recruit, and eventually chose the University of Connecticut, over Boston College, Buffalo, UMass, and Syracuse. During his junior year of high school, Acho started playing organized football for the first time in his life. He played tight end, though his high school playing days failed to generate much collegiate notice, if any.
College career
Marquees originally committed to UConn to play basketball as a 3 star point guard, which he did for 3 seasons. However, he did not get much meaningful playtime. At the request of his father, Marquees started bulking up immediately after his junior year ended. This training regiment saw Acho gain 25 pounds in 4 months. That spring, he walked on to a talent-less UConn football team and immediately started to shine. He was soon named a starter after the annual UConn Spring Game. Acho had 85 tackles, 6.5 sacks, 4 forced fumbles, and an interception his senior year. This earned him 1st team All- AAC honors, 2nd team All- American honors, and was a Bilotnikoff Award finalist. Unfortunately, controversy ensued when Acho was arrested in connection of the murder of two men outside of an Atlanta night club. He pleaded not guilty, with charges eventually being dropped. Shortly after, Acho announced he would be attending the NSFL prospect bowl, to which he was picked up by the Atlantic Blackbirds. Acho started every game, and was one of the leading defenders in the entire Prospect Bowl, anchoring a tough Blackbird defense.
