Hometown Hero: Tyler Martin Kicks for Covington Catholic Colonels
As a kid Tyler Martin would often sneak into Covington Catholic football games watching in awe as the Colonels took the field. Now the senior kicker is making his own mark on the team he grew up idolizing. Martin's love for the Colonels was sparked by his father a Covington Catholic alum who would bring him to games on Friday nights. As he got older Martin began to focus on kicking and his hard work paid off when he earned the starting job as a sophomore. This season Martin has been a key contributor to the Colonels' success booting game-winning field goals and pinning opponents deep with his precise kickoffs. Despite the pressure of playing for his hometown team Martin remains humble and grounded citing his family and coaches as the reason for his success.
