Marcus Sherels is an American football cornerback who plays for the Minnesota Vikings of the NFL. Sherels attended John Marshall High School in Rochester, Minnesota and went on to play for the Minnesota Golden Gophers on scholarship. Sherels was waived by the Vikings on September 4, 2010 and signed to the practice squad on September 6. On September 28 Sherels was released to make room on the practice squad for tight end John Nalbone. As of October 13, Sherels was resigned to the Vikings practice squad and Nalbone released. This move, along with the signing of Frank Walker to the active squad, was made due to the season-ending injury sustained by cornerback Cedric Griffin who was placed on injured reserve the same day. On January 1, 2011 Sherels was elevated to the active 53-man squad after safety Madieu Williams was placed on injured reserve.
