2009: Markus played in 12 games, finishing the season with eight receptions and 11 rushes ... a majority of the rushes came on the flysweep or catching passes behind the line of scrimmage ... scored one touchdown, a 10-yard rush against Washington State ... season-long 18-yard rush vs. Washington and season-long 25-yard reception at Oregon ... one of eight true freshmen to play.
