Bob Marley's son Rohan and grandson Nico's passion for football will be featured in Sports Illustrated Thursday

Nico Marley now a sophomore linebacker for Tulane, committed to play linebacker for the Green Wave after failing to receive a scholarship offer from Miami or any other Florida Division I school. This season Nico achieved a career-high of 11 tackles in last Saturday's loss against Georgia Tech.   

Nico follows in the footsteps of his father, Rohan, a star linebacker for the Miami who led the Hurricanes in tackles (95) during the 1993 season.

The Sports Illustrated issue featuring the Marleys hit stands on Thursday.
