FORT WORTH, Texas -- TCU offensive tackle Marcus Cannon has been ranked as the No. 10 Workout Warrior in college football by ESPN The Magazine's Bruce Feldman.
It's the second straight year the Horned Frogs have had a Top 10 Workout Warrior. Former Horned Frog linebacker and current Baltimore Raven Jason Phillips made the squad last season.
Cannon, a 6-foot-5, 350-pound junior, previously worked as a lifeguard and is skilled in several dives, including a double front flip, gainer, back flip and one and a half.
Cannon was an honorable-mention All-Mountain West Conference selection last season and had a dominant performance in the Horned Frogs' 17-16 Poinsettia Bowl victory over Boise State.
A native of Odessa, Texas, Cannon is also an all-conference selection in the shot put for the TCU track and field team. He earned runner-up honors at the Mountain West Conference Championships after throwing a season-best 54 feet, 10 inches. Cannon won the shot put at the TCU Invitational.
