Career

High school

Martin attended Montgomery Bell Academy in Nashville, Tennessee, where he was a letterman in football, basketball, soccer, and baseball. In football, he led his team to three Tennessee State Championships.

Martin was a versatile football player, playing quarterback, punter, and sometimes stepping in as a safety. In one memorable game Martin ran for a 26 yard, "go-ahead score" in the final seconds of a victory over the highly ranked Bolles School. He also kicked three field goals of 50+ yards, with a school record 56 yarder.

College

Martin originally went to the University of Florida to play for the highly successful Steve Spurrier. Upon Spurrier's exit to the NFL, however, Martin was caught in limbo, as new Florida head coach Ron Zook elected to start freshman Chris Leak in Martin's sophomore season. Martin moved to South Carolina's Furman University, where he had two successful years and set a number of passing records.
