Unpopular opinion: Don't want.
I am more excited about the Texas Tech WR transfer than a guy who's had three years to try doing something on the field but hasn't. If he had more than two years of eligibility remaining, I might be for it, but this is going to be a take that we regret in a few years. I know "We're Full°" is the joke around here, but, like all good jokes, there's a little truth behind it. There's room to take Martin now, but it's going to seem awfully stupid having him on the roster next year as a senior 3rd stringer and watching a 12 man class come in.
Martin, as a third year player, was the backup at edge, mostly dropping into zone coverage on his side of the field. When the starter went down with injury, they trusted him so much that, instead of bumping him up, they shuffled the whole defense around, moved the guy from the other side over, and played a different base defense. With both of those guys back, he was looking at being 3rd string as a junior (a fourth year junior thanks to COVID '20).
This is A&M's Amandre Williams or Myles Rice. And We're Full°.
And, frankly, I can look past a guy shitting on Washington to go chase an SEC bag if he's going to come in and make a difference (Toot Toot), but if not, you made your bed, so go sleep in it. And fuck yourself.
