Elijah Marks, who set several Arizona high school football receiving records his senior year at Goodyear Desert Edge, has signed with the Arizona Rattlers of the Indoor Football League.

Marks, 6-foot-1, 185 pounds, set state records for most catches in a season (113 in 2013), most receiving yards (2,153) and touchdown catches (26). The TD catches in a season remained until Yuma Catholic's John Henderson broke it last year with 29.

Marks had a good career at Northern Arizona, before signing with the Kansas City Chiefs in 2018 as an undrafted free agent. He was released by the Chiefs in the summer of 2018.

His brother, Jihad Marks, is a senior receiver having a great season at Desert Edge this year.

Elijah Marks was among nine players that the Rattlers signed on Wednesday.

They re-signed receivers Anthony Amos, Jamal Miles and Sheldon Augustine, defensive linemen Connor Flagel and Lance McDowell, defensive back/linebacker Davontae Merriweather, offensive lineman Brandon Haskin, and kicker Jimmy Camacho.
