Marcus Forston (born September 28, 1989) is a former American football defensive tackle who was signed by the New England Patriots as an undrafted free agent in 2012.

[1] Forston's older brother, Dustin, played college football at Ole Miss and FAU.

Forston accounted for 72 tackles, earned 20 sacks, and forced 7 fumbles during his senior season at Miami Northwestern (2007), which often came while he was double or triple-teamed.

[2] Moreover, Forston sometimes lined up at tight end on goal-line situations (he caught one touchdown pass).

Forston also earned national recognition being named to several All-American teams, including USA Today, Parade, and EA Sports.

Forston was chosen to represent East Team in the U.S. Army All-American game as a starter and was considered one of the best defensive tackles coming out of high school in 2008, earning comparisons to Warren Sapp.

[3] In 2010, Rivals.com called Forston—in retrospect—“maybe the best nose tackle prospect in the past five years.”[4] Forston was considered a five-star recruit by Rivals.com and was ranked the No.

Forston subsequently decided to forgo his final season of eligibility and entered the NFL Draft.

Forston was waived by the New England Patriots entering the 2013 season, but was later signed to their practice squad.
