DeShawn Martin: Jesuit QB Makes Immediate Impact at Fairfield Prep
Fairfield Prep Jesuits quarterback DeShawn Martin threw for 342 yards and three touchdowns in his first game with the team, leading the Jesuits to a 35-21 victory over Notre Dame of West Haven. The Class of 2025 signal-caller transferred from Texas, where he played for a CIAC 5A school in the Dallas-Fort Worth area. Martin's impressive debut earned him a spot as the starting quarterback for the Jesuits, a role he's expected to hold onto for the remainder of the season. The 6-foot-2, 180-pound quarterback has already drawn attention from college scouts, who are looking to see how he adapts to the CIAC's more competitive landscape. Specifically, scouts will be watching to see how Martin handles the pressure of leading a team in a state with a stronger reputation for football talent. His ability to read defenses and make quick decisions will be key to the Jesuits' success this season.
