Jayden Martin Commits to Texas Tech
West Des Moines Valley Tigers running back Jayden Martin has committed to play for Texas Tech. The Class of 2025 standout chose the Red Raiders over other Power Five offers from Iowa State and Nebraska. Martin, a 4A prospect, is a versatile back who excels in both the passing and running game. He believes Texas Tech's offense, which features a high-powered spread attack, aligns with his skills. The Red Raiders' depth chart at running back is expected to be competitive, but Martin sees an opportunity to contribute early in his career. Additionally, Texas Tech's renowned engineering program was a major draw for Martin, who is considering a career in the field. Martin had previously committed to Iowa State but decommitted in May after re-evaluating his options.
