Marcus Dupree Net Worth: Marcus Dupree is a former professional football player who has a net worth of $10,000. Marcus Dupree earned his net worth through his USFL and NFL careers. In 1984, Dupree signed with the USFL for the New Orleans Trail Blazers. He had to miss most of the games due to injury, but in 1985, Dupree earned a starting spot in the season opener against the Arizona Outlaws.
During that game, he suffered a serious knee injury and had to be carried off the field. This ended his NFL career. After recovering and trying to regain strength in his knee, he signed with the NFL’s Los Angeles Rams in 1990, but in 1991 he was injured again and had to miss the first seven games. Just before the 1992 season began, Dupree was cut by the team because his coach, Chuck Knox, felt his performance wasn’t what he needed. Marcus Dupree soon decided to retire. He then became a USWA professional wrestler while busy running a sports bar and working in a casino. Born in Philadelphia, Mississippi, in 1964, Marcus Dupree attended Philadelphia High School, where he played wide receiver, kick-off and punt guard, but switched to fullback in his second year. During his senior year, he broke the national high school record for total touchdowns. Texas, Oklahoma, UCLA and Southern Mississippi all wanted to recruit Dupre, but his final decision was to go to Oklahoma, where he was named to the All-American Second Team, Final Eight First Team and Top Eight Rookie of the Year. After suffering injuries, including a concussion, he decided to disappear for a few days, and when he returned, he left Oklahoma for the University of Southern Mississippi, but only after being told he would have to miss the 1984 season. Stayed for three months.
