Marquis Cooper is a former NFL Player. On the early morning of March 1, 2009, Cooper went deep sea fishing with 3 other friends in the Gulf off Florida. The boat capsized several miles out and hours later Cooper and another NFL player he was with, Corey Smith, lost hope and took off their life jackets to let the seas sweep them away. Will Blakley, a former USF player, was also on that boat. On monday morning, Will thought he saw a light so he took off his life jacket and proceeded to swim hoping he would get rescued. He never made it. Nick Schulyer, also a previous player at USF, was the only survivor.
