Marcus Martin Commits to Arkansas for 2026 Season
St. Xavier Tigers kicker Marcus Martin has committed to the University of Arkansas for the 2026 season. The Class of 2026 standout, who holds a 6.4-second 40-yard dash time, is expected to contribute to the Razorbacks' special teams unit. Arkansas' 3-4 defensive scheme should allow Martin to showcase his skills as a kicker and punter. With the departure of Arkansas' 2024 kicker, Martin is likely to see significant playing time as a freshman. The university's strong academic programs, including a top-ranked business school, also made Arkansas an attractive option for Martin. He previously committed to another program but reopened his recruitment in March 2024. Martin's commitment brings the Razorbacks' 2026 class to 12 signees. The Tigers' kicker is expected to sign his national letter of intent in December 2025.
