In 2018, Martell appeared in six games at Ohio State, completing 23-of-28 passes for 269 yards and a touchdown while also rushing for 128 yards and 2 additional scores.
While at Miami, Martell appeared in just three games and completed his lone pass for 7 yards. He also had 7 carries for 7 yards. At one point during his time with the Hurricanes, Martell tried to working with the wide receivers in an effort to get more playing time.
