Alabama lands transfer commitment from All-Sun Belt specialist
Alabama is adding a punter from the transfer portal.
After two seasons at Troy, Jack Martin is transferring to the Crimson Tide. The Northview (Dothan, Alabama) product announced his commitment on Saturday morning via his Twitter page.
Martin picked up scholarship offers from Troy, FIU, Grambling State and South Alabama as a class of 2019 recruit. He was pledged to South Alabama but flipped his commitment to Troy ahead of National Signing Day.
In two seasons at Troy, Martin played in 23 games. In 2019, he focused on kickoffs, playing in 12 games. This past season, Martin also punted 25 times, averaging 46.1 yards with a long of 66, earning first-team All-Sun Belt recognition.
AL.com’s Mike Rodak added an amusing note about punters named Jack Martin at Alabama:
Martin is from Dothan and played at Northview High School. Alabama also had a punter on its roster the past two seasons named Jack Martin who is from Mobile and played at McGill-Toolen.

Martin entered the transfer portal in late April.
I appreciate the opportunity Troy University gave me and all the support Troy has given me. Troy will always have a special place in my heart… Thanks pic.twitter.com/PnWjO622tn

If he can punt a football more than 35 yards past the LOS, sign him.
Done.
Pretty desperate lol.
Meh, I never noticed.
I don’t recall you saying that with any of the transfers into Auburn. Is Fair coming to Auburn desperate or filling a need? If your punter averaged 35 yards per punt and you can replace him with one who averaged 46 it would be an upgrade….not desperate. That was a pretty desperate reach on your part. Was the LOL for how inane your post was?
Bama has always been poor in the punter/kicker category except for last year. It’s just funny how they can’t recruit them by themselves. Desperate.
And the lol was because I knew i’d get under all of your skins with three simple words..
Nonsense. Most recently JK Scott. Look him up, punted for the Tide 2014-2017. Green Bay 2018-present.
I remember Scott. He was pretty good. Other than Scott and Reichard Bama has had very mediocre at best punters and kickers though.
So it took him posting one name to prove your post wrong…
You’re clueless…
JK Scott. You show your bias with every post.
I simply forgot about JK Scott.. But everyone in the entire country knows that a
Alabama struggles in the special teams game usually. If you try and prove me wrong about that, I can get plenty of people to back me up.
“Bama has always been poor in the punter/kicker category except for last year. “
That was your comment and it was wrong…. You moving the goal post doesn’t make you correct. It’s just proves your comment was wrong…
Dumba$$
Takes one to know one
Desperate would be your attempt at attention..
Desperate would be your attempt at making yourself happy through this website lmao
Says the guy trolling…
Desperate would be……I got nothin..just thought the exchange was funny.
Lol
Punters at AL don’t get a whole lot of work. If you shank one punt you may not get a chance to kick again in that game
Not having a lot of kicks and a couple bad kicks and a few kicked short out of bounds inside the 20 and you get a bad avg
Bama’s punting has been very average. There have been more punts than I have wanted to see that I could have bettered. Maybe this kid can change it. Bama has not been strong in punting since JK Scott was drafted.
For the last three years, Alabama rarely punted, so no one noticed.
