Bruce Feldman's Twitter:

Wow and now bluechip DE-LB recruit Chris Martin is transferring from Cal the school announces.

Chris Martin says there are "too many distractions" in the Bay Area... Good news for Notre Dame??

If no distractions is what he needs, then Lincoln's his place.

My thoughts exactly, when I first heard about this. +1

Did we pursue him out of HS?

Rivals shows that we did offer him but obviously Owa was our #1 DE target hence the reason why they put all their efforts into recruiting him.

Dear Football gods. I promise not to get super drunk October 16th and yell at longhorn fans if you give us Chris Martin as an Xfer.

Thank you

Some other guy on ESPN tweeted that he thinks he's OU bound.

He was a UF lean before he shocked everyone and announced Cal. If they are stating there are too many distractions in the Bay Area then UF wouldn't the the right choice. OU makes sense. I think when these announcements are made the next school is already determined.

It is being reported that Chris Martin is now a Florida Gator.

Exactly what I was wondering. Kind of puzzling... maybe he feels the East coast will have less distractions than the West? Hmm... this kid must like money.

During the 2010 recruiting cycle Aurora (Col.) Grandview five-star prospect Chris Martin had Florida as one of his top choices, and at one time actually flirted with the notion of committing to the Gators. However, in the end he signed with Cal, deciding it was in his best interest to return home to the Bay Area. It may be a little later than expected, but on Wednesday the Gators finally got their man.
