Martin caught the first touchdown during the 2018 season while he was at Michigan, and that’s still the season where he put up his best stats. Martin had 11 receptions for 125 yards and 1 touchdown while averaging 11 yards per catch.
After that, Martin made his way to Iowa where he also caught a touchdown pass but didn’t do much after that. He finished the 2019 season with only 5 receptions for 28 yards, plus that score.
He’s now made his way to Lincoln and as noted above, scored a touchdown in Saturday’s game. He finished with 6 receptions for 103 yards, plus that touchdown.
Martin’s 103 yards receiving were more than what he had all of last season with the Cornhuskers. He finished 2020 with 5 receptions for just 63 yards.
