Two-sport star Kaden Martin, son of Tee Martin, commits to ACC program
Two-sport star Kaden Martin out of Knoxville Catholic announced Wednesday that he has committed to Miami.
The son of former Volunteers quarterback and assistant coach Tee Martin, Kaden is a 4-star dual-threat quarterback on the 247Sports Composite. In his SI All-American commitment blog, Martin mentions also having offers from Tennessee, Oregon and Arizona State. He also noted that some football coaches appeared reluctant to recruit him, noting his MLB Draft stock.
Gaby Urrutia of InsideTheU reports that Martin “will focus primarily on baseball.” In his blog, Martin indicated he considered both sports when choosing Miami:
They’re doing a great job this year on baseball and football is doing a good job, too. Can’t wait to see what they have in the future. Can’t wait to add on to their program!
Under NCAA scholarship rules, if Martin plays both sports, his scholarship will be counted as a UM football scholarship.
Man, I’m starting to feel bad for Tennessee.
Reading this also makes me feel so old.
I don’t know. This one didn’t sting to me. I watched him play some and He has a lot of work to do to become a good P5 QB. His baseball skill is higher and he will likely end up concentrating on baseball at sone point.
Panic mode happens if they don’t get Braden Davis. That legacy recruit to me seems like has a higher upside.
At this point I’m so Tennessee’d out on UT news that articles tend to blend at this point. More interested to see what Heupel brings to the table in the fall.
Guinny…Drink brought more to the table at Mizzou than Heupel ever will bring to Tennessee. You got a good one in Drinkwitz.
I have confidence in Drinkwitz. Just saying at this point, I’d prefer to see UT on the field and see how they do against others rather than read about them. I’m just getting tired of UT articles.
