Marcus Alston is a College Football Player and Founder/CEO of Alston for Athletes. Marcus led Saint Francis to their first conference championship as a Division I program and is a first-generation college graduate. While playing ball, Marcus was diagnosed with Borderline Personality Disorder and didn’t have the support system he needed to succeed. Marcus founded Alston for Athletes in 2019 with one major goal: for no student-athlete to endure what he’d been through alone. He built a team of motivated individuals to help spread the message of promoting physical, emotional, and mental well-being.
