According to 247Sports, Martell is eyeing Louisville, Miami and West Virginia as potential destinations. The quarterback is expected to visit all three at some point this week.

Martell is expected to make a decision in the coming weeks regarding his transfer destination. He made the choice to enter the transfer portal after former Georgia quarterback Justin Fields announced he was headed to Ohio State.
Entering his name into the transfer database doesn’t guarantee his departure from Ohio State, but based on his recent actions, it’s likely Martell is out. He’s followed other college football coaches on Twitter, removed “Ohio State” from his Twitter profile and, now, is visiting other schools.
Martell played in six games for the Buckeyes in 2018. He completed 23 of 28 passes for 269 yards and a touchdown. He also rushed for 128 yards and two scores.
