Whether he plays RB or somewhere on the other side of the ball, he would make an excellent addition to this class! He can put on twenty more pounds easily and be a nightmare running between the tackles.

Martin would be an awesome pick up and continue the momentum for the class. PSU wants to compete and beat tOSU, get to the playoff.......these are the players that give you a shot...........

Would’ve huge if it comes about. People have been talking about him since ninth grade.

Rivals has him at 6-3 and 205 lbs. As a kid that won't be college eligible until 2025, he could easily be 6-4 or taller.

Very unusual to have a RB at 6-3 or taller. Dickerson was 6-3 and Marcus Allen 6-2. But it is hard to keep a low center of gravity above 6-2. But everyone is different so who knows?

Does he resemble Eddie George? How does he compare to George speed wise? Definitely not an Eric Dickerson style back. Dickerson was smooth and looked like he ran without effort. Thoughts?

I’m deeply confused watching his film. First off he’s huge! One minute he looks fast, next slow. By the time he reaches college he could play 5 positions, RB, WR, TE, DE, or LB.

Could easily be TE size by then. Or pass rushing DE. He should excel where ever he plays

Well, that's really not all that unusual - most elite QBs and TEs are good enough athletes to play multiple different positions. That's why you see QBs converted to TE, RB, slot receiver.... in the pros.

I think Eddie George is a good comparison if he can stay at 6-3 and pack on another 30 lbs of muscle without losing quicks. He appears to have plenty of straight line speed. He has a very long, and deceptive, stride. He is faster than he looks because he doesn't need very many steps. He also looks pretty quick not lightening but for his size, he moves great. But I can certainly see him at TE or LB.

Derrick Henry? Dickerson was a gazelle sleek and fast, covered a lot of ground fast.

Is he good enough to play both ways?

Is he good enough to play both ways?

We might just find out.

He runs with a very upright stance which at his size and seed in high school can get away with. Not so much in Big.

Why do they put annoying music like that in highlights?

Why do they put annoying music like that in highlights?

A) It generates excitement like music in a dramatic scene in a movie.
B) Their high school kids.
