Camping at ND this summer. I imagine it will be Irish Invasion.

ND's spotted Michigan a big lead but I've read comments that ND will be at/near the top as soon as they offer and they will offer on the spot.

Hasn't played his sophomore year of high school yet and he's garnering interest? Must be incredible

thick looking dude

How do the paid sites go this long and not report the important connections of a Top 10 player in a class, maybe the #1 OA player as a freshman, who made various All American teams, who's already 6-2/227 and has multiple P5 offers?

Following info from ISD:

Tyler Martin's Grandfather is an ND alum who's taken him to ND games, Martin says he grew up dreaming of playing for ND and follows Drue Tranquill's play at LB.

Should be another classic ND - Michigan battle.

I'm throwing a FC expecting him to get offered at Invasion.

stlnd01 · May 21, 2019

Same high school as Zinter. I live three miles from there. Will go have a talk with the young man.

BobbyMac · May 21, 2019

Not that it matters but some amateur at MichiganInsiders CB'd him to the Weasels today.

rtrn2glory · May 22, 2019

porter gustin clone??

Irish#1 · May 22, 2019

Will be interesting to see if he performs well enough at camp to get an offer.

If the report above is true about him potentially being the #1 LB in the class, then I would expect him to perform well enough.

rtrn2glory · May 22, 2019

land him and the kid from hawaii in the 21 class and we got two studs in the middle in back to back years

To be fair he’s only a freshman in high school. I’m not sure how much weight to give player rankings at this point. Also, while his conference is producing a surprising number of P5 recruits lately, it’s still Massachusetts private schools. A different world than Texas or Florida..
That said he would certainly appear to be a reasonable offer for Notre Dame. Go get him.

This. Get him to camp, offer, and recruit him but I'd be fairly surprised if Martin is the #1 LB in his class when it's all said and done

I'd be shocked if he's even a LB. Future DT.

Veritate Duce Progredi · Jun 12, 2019

That is one big rising sophomore in high school. Unless he already stopped growing, he's going to be a monster in 3 years.

Luckylucci · Jun 12, 2019

Yea, he's a big boy. I'd love to see him grow an inch or two and move to DL. Otherwise, if he's going to stay at LB, he's going to need to be on a different nutrition/S&C plan than most HS football players.

He's definitely stout, especially for his grade. I wonder if he started a year late or was held back a year early on? Anyone know his age?

He played for BBN's vasity as an 8th grader in '17 and he turned 16 this spring. Probably transferred to BBN and replayed 8th grade for a second time being it's a prep school.

More important than age, size & 40: He's a St Paddy's Baby. Sign em up!

Yeah, if he turned 16 in 2019 and just finished his freshman year of high school, he stayed back/repeated a year somewhere along the way, probably whenever he transferred to BB&N. (8th grade?)
Like Crus said, pretty standard practice for high-level athletic recruits at those kind of schools. I believe his teammate Zak Zinter did the same.

Yep, I think Zinter transferred in after his Jr year of public school and reclassified as a Jr at BBN.

Here's an oldy off of Dad's Twitter of Tyler and Greg Crippen before he left for IMG. Looks like they played FBU together.

Here they are with Brunelle before Invasion. Looks like Crippen's gained some height on Martin.

stlnd01 · Jun 12, 2019

A side note: As a long-ago football player at a private high school in Massachusetts, I find this trend of the ISL pumping out major D1 prospects on the regular to be completely baffling.
They’re good ballplayers, and likely smart kids - natural fits for ND or Michigan or Penn State. Back when I played (20 years ago) I think about one kid from the entire conference went on to play D1 college football (and that was Rutgers). These were hockey schools. Lousy football, even by Massachusetts standards.
Now they’re showing up in droves at Irish Invasion. Times change.

As pointed out, it will interesting to see how he grows as he's comparable to Carlo Calabrese physically and style of play.

Dad looks like a DII nose tackle. Hard to tell where his genes take him.

Saw a tweet where Rivals thinks it may be Drop/SDE. Is he even 6-2?
