The skinny: Martin committed during the summer but seemingly kept his options open until January, when he reaffirmed that he would be coming to UT. The size and athleticism are already there, as Martin has the potential to see immediate playing time in a major position of need for the Vols. Martin was one of UT’s biggest player recruiters in the class, as he became close with a number of UT’s commitments and targets.

I like his size for a safety, IF he really is that size. Beats the hell out of the little guys like Teague and Gordon back there.
