Mike Marquez serves as a quality control coach with the William & Mary football program, bringing experience in defensive analysis, football operations, recruiting, scouting and player personnel.
During his previous tenure with the Tribe from 2019 to Spring of 2022, Marquez served as a defensive analyst and worked with the defensive backs and special teams. His responsibilities included opponent offensive breakdowns, defensive data analytics, scouting reports, passing-game tendency studies and personnel analysis. He also supported game-day communication and charting, self-scout evaluation, recruiting operations and prospect evaluation.
In 2019, Marquez helped a William & Mary defense that led the Coastal Athletic Association with 2.0 forced turnovers per game. The Tribe’s 24 takeaways were the program’s most since 2009, while its 30 sacks finished just one shy of the program’s single-season top 10. William & Mary also ranked among the nation’s top 10 in blocked kicks and kickoff-return average that season.
Prior to returning to William & Mary, Marquez expanded his football operations and player-personnel experience as Director of Football Operations for Berry Athlete Representation. In that role, he supported football research, film evaluation and the scouting of college and high school prospects. He also contributed to player development, NIL strategy, compliance and pre-draft preparation. His work included compiling performance data, athletic testing information and developmental projections, as well as conducting player interviews and character evaluations.
Marquez earned certifications in Director of Football Operations and Football GM & Scouting. His Football GM & Scouting training covered NFL scouting methods, personnel evaluation, statistical analysis, video editing, scouting-report preparation, general manager practices and the NFL collective bargaining agreement.
Before his initial tenure at William & Mary, Marquez spent four seasons at Hampden-Sydney College, where he worked with the defensive backs, special teams and strength and conditioning. He helped mentor more than 30 all-conference selections and contributed to two Old Dominion Athletic Conference runner-up finishes.
Marquez played cornerback, nickel and special teams at Hampden-Sydney from 2012-14. He helped the Tigers win consecutive ODAC championships in 2013 and 2014, with the secondary leading the conference in pass-defense efficiency during both seasons.
A 2015 Hampden-Sydney graduate, Marquez earned his bachelor’s degree in economics. He also earned a business certificate in accounting, finance, management and marketing from the University of Virginia’s McIntire School of Commerce in 2016.
