[Efus50]

Boom

 

[I4Jay]

Thank you, John Chavis.

😂 :lol:

I don't profess to be a football guru on x's and o's but I have to believe JRM will still be a mainstay at the linebacker position for a while before someone unseats him. He spent a lot of time in the opponent's backfield this year and other than AJ had more tackles than anyone else. jmo

That was his point, someone left him off a LB list and he was being sarcastic.

 

[The Breakerboy]

Kid is arrogant and cocky do not want.

 

[keckjm]

Just found this out!!! This is great news!!!:loco:

 

[VFL23]

Justin Martin is happy that Justin Martin committed

 

[VolsnCards5]

Boom!

 

[JacketVol]

So basically Tennessee is the sloppy second. I say let his a$$ go to LSU.

But we were hoping Chavis would leave so we could get this guy and some others. So, why the disappointment when it happened? GBO BOOMING

 

[DoolTool]

This worked just as I hoped. Amadi is a nice player, but Martin/Sutton could be lethal, plus we're back in the race for Phillips

 

[TechnoVol]

Chavis obviously left LSU to help us in recruiting. VFL!

Chavis never was much of a recruiter for us when he was here. I'll take the assist from him today with Martin. Chief is VFL! :rock:

 

[StlCardinals2618]

I still think we get Martin even though LSU is putting up a real fight. Tiny was going to Auburn until he changed his mind on signing day. There is still a loonngg way to go

 

[Escape Goat]

Such a huge get. What a great day. Congrats Mr Martin.

I don't care how it happened....this is a huge commitment for teams 119- 121.

This could be the difference in a 8 win season and actually contending, he's that good and he, Suttonand Moseley will be a great 3 man CB rotation next yr.

Butch says "I'll take this, thank you."

Huge get, but lets cool the brakes a little bit. He is still relatively new at the position. Claims like these are how players are labeled a bust so early in their careers

Welcome Justin to the Vols!!!!!!!!!!

That is freakin' hilarious!!

 

[Ron Swanson]

"Martin is one of those cant-miss junior college talents. His speed and acceleration are what make him special. The fact that he had four years to play three season only makes him more intriguing. As he adds strength he will get more physical. But, at least for now, his strengths are coverage downfield and ability to make plays on the ball."

-Rob Cassidy, Rivals

 

[Ron Swanson]

At 6-2, 192 pounds, Martin has the size defensive back coaches dream of. He has the speed to go with it. His size and speed make him an elite prospect and he showed in his first year at Northeast Oklahoma A&M that he can be a shutdown corner.

Martin played running back in high school before making the switch in junior college and showed that he's a quick learner at the position as he was one of the top defensive backs in the country at the junior college level.

Martin seems to always be on the hip of the receiver he's covering and with his long arms and frame he's able to bat balls away easier than other, smaller corners. He also shows he has no trouble breaking on the ball and stepping up to make tackles.

Martin, although still fine-tuning things at the corner spot, has everything you want in a modern corner. Size, speed, ability to cover and willingness to come up and tackle.

[PassedOutAwake]

So since JUCO signing day already passed, has he said anything about signing yet?

He's not an EE

 

[Glitch]

Didn't get one CB commit? Ok. 3... 2... 1...

BOOM!!! Welcome aboard Mr. Martin! Glad you are a VOL!

Another player in the depth equation that people have forgotten about is Riyahd Jones. Coaches could have played him this year and let his eligibility expire, but chose to redshirt him. Looked promising and then had the blood clotting issue. Could have very solid depth next year.

 

[GOATeric14berry]

Chavis is still a VFL i see

I think he isn't playing next year. He graduated and Im pretty sure tomorrow is his last game.
