Marquis Spruill attended Syracuse University and played Division 1 football in the Big East and later in the ACC. Spruill recorded 243 tackles, including 41 for a loss (second most in program history), three forced fumbles, a fumble recovery and four pass defenses. During his four-year college career, he was a 2011 All-BIG EAST Second Team selection and 2013 All-ACC Honorable mention.
Atlanta Falcons
The Atlanta Falcons became interested in Spruill as they looked to add depth to the inside linebacker position. They traded their 2014 sixth and seventh round draft picks to the Minnesota Vikings, to move up and select him in the fifth round. Spruill injured his left knee (torn ACL) on August 6, 2014, ending his rookie season. He was placed on injured reserve and Atlanta Falcons Team Physician Dr. Spero Karas performed reconstructive knee surgery. The surgery was filmed and shown on HBO series Hard Knocks as the opening segment on the 3rd episode of the 2014 season. On August 24, 2015, the Falcons released Spruill.
Toronto Argonauts
On April 4, 2016, the Toronto Argonauts of the Canadian Football League announced they had signed Spruill. Spruill was released on June 14, 2016.
