Former WSU receiver Gabe Marks says he’s no longer pursuing the NFL

Gabe Marks is moving on, or so he says.

The former WSU receiver, who collected a number of accolades in his four years as a Cougar, told The Seattle Times in an interview Wednesday that he’s moved on from his football-playing dreams. Instead, he’s “doing a lot of things, working on a lot of things,” most notably the website West Coast Offense, which he hopes to grow into “a Players’ Tribune kind of thing.”

“Life is like an onion, you know,” Marks said. “There’s a lot of layers in life, there’s a really long life, there’s a lot of things I’m interested in, and I think I’d be of better use to the world if I tried to do other things.
