Malone was one of 17 seniors honored Saturday night prior to the game.
“It was a good night,” Malone said. “The freshmen came in and got a touchdown (on the game's final play). I'm happy for the freshmen, I'm happy for my team and the seniors; they're a good, leading group.”
Being able to block for backs like D'Avion Peebles, Treven Swingler and quarterback Kaleb Ware is a pleasure for Malone and the other Explorer lienmen.
“Unfortunately, we lost two guards last game and I had to come in, step up and play guard for them; it's an honor to come in and block for them and block for my quarterback.”
Malone is looking at possibly going to Culver-Stockton in Canton, Mo., and is being recruited by Indiana State's football program.
“I haven't really decided on where I want to go,” Malone said. “I'm still trying to figure that out.
“I'm just going to represent my seniors and my team; I can't do this without them, and I'm pretty sure they can't do this without me – we all work together as brothers We're all in this together. - we're all one big family at Marquette.”
