Noah Martin: Weddington's Unlikely Star LB
Weddington Warriors linebacker Noah Martin made an immediate impact in his first season with the 3A team, recording 12 tackles for loss and 4 sacks in just six games. The Class of 2026 standout transferred from out-of-state, where he played in a larger NCHSAA classification. Martin's impressive start has caught the attention of college scouts, who are eager to see how he adapts to the faster-paced NCHSAA 3A schedule. Despite the transition, Martin has shown no signs of slowing down, using his quickness and agility to disrupt opposing offenses. He has also been praised for his leadership skills, often calling out assignments and making adjustments on the fly. As the Warriors look to build on their strong finish last season, Martin will be a key factor in their success. Scouts are watching for how Martin handles the increased workload and whether he can maintain his high level of production throughout the season.
