Martin Sr also is originally from Dayton and went to Bowling Green. He puts on a free Youth football camp every year in Dayton. I am sure his son is very familiar with Ohio State and the area.

Good size and good coaching for both positions from his dad.

Martin also grew up with Keith Byars and the two are pretty tight (Bayless went to Belmont and Byars went to Roth before it closed).

When the camp first started in Dayton it was the Byars-Bayless camp and was completely funded by Martin, Keith & other NFL players for the first several years.

Martin Bayless is an outstanding human being and I have no doubts that his son will be an asset to whatever University he attends.

If Brian Robi.., er, I mean Martin Bayless has the same character and ability of his father, then we are in for a coop if he chooses the Bucks.

[NFBuck]

Nice size/speed and seems to have some connections to tOSU...would make a nice 3rd addition to the WR class. Always love plucking players from Cali.

He could also fill the Safety spot in this class, assuming McCarthy ends up at ND. His father would be able to teach him a thing or two.

Martin says he attended our Senior camp. Was that the one that was just held? If so, that's news and apparently he was one of our camp offers as well.

[TheStoicPaisano]

Based on the context, he participated in the OSU senior camp as a sophomore. First step is actually getting this kid to visit again, because he's camping (or has recently camped) at three great programs in USC, Florida and UCLA.

No.

According to the article he attended UCLA & USC's camps and will attend Florida's next month.

He stated he went to the Buckeye senior camp during his sophmore year (not sure if he meant between So-Jr or Fr-So year).

[BGriffBuckeye]

I wasn't aware you could do that. But, alright.

[MililaniBuckeye]

Funny he has offers from Ohio State and Florida--the two teams in the past season's NC game--yet he's only a 2-star on both Rivals and Scout.

Precisely because we got "talent evaluators" who knows jack about evaluating talent and think they know more than coaches at OSU and Florida.

He just popped onto the radar within 7 days, long after the updated rankings from both sites. I highly doubt they are already done evaluating his film, ability and offer list. It usually takes time to get game film to start the evaluation process, as well as confirming his offer list.

True, but someone on both sites obviously saw enough to peg him as a 2-star vice the default 1-star. His offer list (which will surely grow) will garner additional attention...
