They used to be separated into OLB and ILB but now they are all combined together. 247 had him lower-rated than Rivals. His Composite rating did go down but not by much. I know they combined that but I feel like he was ranked in the 30s at his position previously by 247. Now he is 101. I think the dropped. Quote Link to comment

But for 2019, there were 43 ILBs rated higher than 85 (Martin's current rating on 247). There were 73 OLBs rated higher than 85. When they get combined it pushes the ILBs down a lot farther than it pushes the OLBs. 2 Quote Link to comment

It looks like he is thinking he is gonna try to fake you out using his mouth. Go watch his video ... what a hoot. Couldn't imagine this guy as a LB at all. He looks like a slow DL/OL guy to me.

suh_fan93 Posted June 8, 2021 Share Posted June 8, 2021 DE? I don't see DE when I watch him at all. Looks like he wraps really well and is a sure tackler. Also love that he says he's loved football since he was in the 2nd grade and knew that it was his sport early on. This is the kind of guy you want at ILB. Quote Link to comment

I don't think there's anything to that other than BigRedN insisting that the sky is falling everywhere he looks. 6 Quote Link to comment
suh_fan93 Posted June 8, 2021 Share Posted June 8, 2021 Never amazed anymore at some of the things I read online when it comes to possible recruits so yeah. Quote Link to comment

I said he "looks like a slow DE/OL" guy. Might have read into that at all. Quote Link to comment

Mavric ... I think you are "leaking" a bit here sir. Nice to see you are human though bro. Appreciate you. I just thought he looks slow and "weighty" a bit. Seems to have heavy, slow legs to me. Just my mind speaking what my eyes see. By no means is the sky falling in my view. I simply am not all that impressed with this guy. Quote Link to comment

The_Fan_Man Posted June 8, 2021 Share Posted June 8, 2021 We finally have some junior film from the New England spring league and, as we already knew, Martin's a thumper with good eyes, good hands, and a willingness to take on blockers. I can see why people might worry about his agility and top end speed. Worst case, he's a multi-year starting LS. Best case, he's a hash-to-hash run stuffer and interior blitz threat.
