Cade Martin Commits to Army
Bellevue West kicker Cade Martin has committed to Army, the Thunderbirds announced Friday. Martin, a Class of 2025 standout, chose the Black Knights after a thorough evaluation of their program. He cited Army's emphasis on special teams as a key factor in his decision, noting the team's need for a reliable kicker. Martin also praised the school's academic program, which aligns with his academic goals. He will have the opportunity to compete for a starting spot immediately, given the team's current depth chart. Martin previously committed to Nebraska-Omaha but decommitted in April to explore other options. He has been a key contributor for Bellevue West, earning all-conference honors in 2024. Martin's commitment to Army marks a significant addition to the program's special teams unit.
