WDE0007 166 Posted January 10, 2019 Share Posted January 10, 2019 https://www.elevenwarriors.com/ohio-state-football/2019/01/101567/ohio-state-quarterback-tate-martell-in-ncaa-transfer-portal-per-reports Ohio State quarterback Tate Martell can now officially be contacted by other schools about a potential transfer. According to reports by Lettermen Row's Jeremy Birmingham and the Toledo Blade's Kyle Rowland, Martell has entered his name into the NCAA transfer portal. A photo from Twitter user @SloppyBaseballs appears to show a photo of Martell's name in the NCAA transfer portal, entered Thursday, alongside other players who could be considering transfers: Entering his name into the transfer portal does not guarantee that Martell will ultimately leave the Buckeyes. It does mean, however, that other schools are now free to contact him about playing for their program. Per Birmingham's report, Miami and West Virginia are two schools who could pursue Martell. During Rose Bowl media day on Dec. 30, Martell told reporters that he had no intentions to transfer from Ohio State, even if Justin Fields transferred into the program. “I have no doubt that I'll go out there and win the job,” Martell said. That, however, was before Fields' transfer became official last week. Now, with Fields expected to be the immediate frontrunner for the starting quarterback job if he gets a waiver from the NCAA for immediate eligibility, Martell could look for an opportunity that would enable him to start elsewhere. Like Fields, Martell – unless he waits until after he graduates – would need to either receive a waiver from the NCAA for immediate eligibility or sit out one year if he opts to transfer from the Buckeyes. Tom Mars, the lawyer representing Fields in his appeal to the NCAA, though, told Bill Rabinowitz of the Columbus Dispatch that he would not represent Martell if he chooses to pursue a waiver for eligibility. Should Martell transfer, however, the Buckeyes will likely need to pursue another quarterback – whether that comes with a high school recruit on National Signing Day, or with another transfer – as they would be down to just three scholarship quarterbacks: Fields, Matthew Baldwin and Chris Chugunov. Walk-on quarterback Kory Curtis has also entered his name into the NCAA transfer portal, potentially leaving the Buckeyes with minimal depth at the position.

He was on a tv show co-starred with Fromm in HS. In one scene his mom was pulling unopened letters out of a pile and Auburn was one of them. His whole family was all Ohio State and he knew where he wanted to go from the beginning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aujeff11 6,243 Posted January 11, 2019 Share Posted January 11, 2019 I just read on cbs sports that Tate Martell followed three coaches on Twitter. According to Martell's most recent Twitter activity, he has followed Miami's Manny Diaz, West Virginia's Neal Brown and Auburn offensive coordinator Kenny Dillingham. All three of those programs seem to be in the market for quarterbacks after losing a starter this season — Malik Rosier for the Hurricanes, Will Grier with the Mountaineers and Jarrett Stidham at Auburn. An RPO-heavy dual threat coming out of high school, Martell is a scheme-specific quarterback who seemed to be a fit with the Buckeyes within Ryan Day's tempo-based offense. He redshirted as a four-star true freshman in 2017 before performing in spots as Dwayne Haskins' primary backup this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sometimes it's just about impossible to accurately assess some of these 5* guys when they are playing against less talented opponents in HS.
