That's a guy whose athleticism never lived up to his play on the field. He had an outrageous SPARQ score in the 160s, better than most NFL players, but what has he done with it? He's transferred three times looking for playing time.

EDIT: I take that back. His SPARQ score was actually 112, which was 4th best at a camp. Elite athletes score 120 or better. I made the mistake of taking a post in the Internet as fact without double checking it.

I remember Campbell evaluated him in person and didn't think he was worth a scholarship

JFC man, drop down a level and have some fun. MAC, CUSA, MWC all good options.seems like he’s just trying to be cool at this point.

Wegher went to Morningside, Martin should drop down to that level.

Yes. He camped at Iowa State and Campbell didn't offer because he didn't think he was good enough at creating separation

That’s why I was surprised he wasn’t better at Iowa. Their receivers always suck at separation but they always have QBs that are pretty good at throwing guys open.

So he's not good enough to play WR at Michigan. Packs up and leaves for Iowa - a school historically known for having terrible WR talent. Cannot find playing time or production at all at Iowa. Nebraska be like............"welcome aboard"

Anymore I am serious when I type this. I hope our recruits are NOT wanted by Nebraska, they've been a horrendous evaluator of talent the last 5 years, it is like Rhoads era bad there

He hasnt lived up to that yet but he’s also had some bad qb play too
