That’s got to be something Martin feels good about entering his first season in Tallahassee. Despite being young in age, he’s quickly developed a reputation as a developer, producing a 1,000+ yard running back in four straight years.

Martin’s leap to Florida State has been his first real experience of recruiting among college football’s elite. He didn’t blink earlier this summer when the Seminoles pulled four-star running back Jayden Miles away from Ohio State and LSU.
The recruiting might be just as fun to watch as the production on the field if Martin keeps going at this rate.

The Seminoles could explore bringing him in for a trip during the season, though there is still plenty of time until he puts pen to paper.
During his sophomore season at Woodbridge High School, Sharpe Jr. rushed 164 times for 1,073 yards and 15 touchdowns while catching 33 passes for 630 yards and 5 more scores.
Sharpe Jr. accumulated 100+ rushing yards in six games, including a season-high 20 carries for 147 yards in a 20-13 victory against Forest Park High School on October 10.
The 5-foot-11, 195-pound running back is not yet ranked in the 2028 class.
The Seminoles have already offered 28 running backs in the 2028 class.
