Darius Martin Commits to Texas Tech

Monroe Woodbury defensive end Darius Martin has committed to Texas Tech. The Class of 2027 standout chose the Red Raiders over offers from Syracuse and Temple. Martin, a 6-foot-3, 220-pound prospect, is expected to contribute immediately to Texas Tech's 3-4 defense. The Crusaders' scheme aligns with the Red Raiders', who also employ a 3-4 base. Martin will have an opportunity to compete for a starting spot at defensive end, where the Red Raiders lost a key player to graduation. Texas Tech's academic program, which includes a strong engineering department, also played a factor in Martin's decision. He had previously committed to Syracuse in February but decommitted in June to explore other options.
