Tyler Martin: Lone Peak's Academic All-Star Linebacker
Lone Peak Knights linebacker Tyler Martin closed out the 2025 season with 120 tackles, including 25 for loss, and 5 sacks. The 6A varsity starter's impressive defensive numbers earned him All-State honors. But what's equally impressive is his academic prowess. Martin maintains a 4.0 GPA, balancing his rigorous course load with the demands of being a high school football player. The Class of 2026 standout is being recruited by several top programs, including BYU and Utah. He's also received interest from Pac-12 schools Arizona and Oregon State. As Martin heads into his senior season, scouts will be watching to see how he adapts to new defensive schemes and whether he can build on his breakout junior year. They'll also be keeping an eye on his speed and agility, as he's expected to see more time in space as a linebacker. With his combination of size, speed, and intelligence, Martin is a player to watch in 6A Utah high school football this fall.
