Eric Martin’s Nebraska legacy: a relentless edge who played bigger than his frame
Eric Martin is a former Nebraska defensive end/linebacker whose calling card was effort, toughness, and disruptive play, not just raw size. In his 2012 season at Nebraska, he posted 59 total tackles, 18 tackles for loss, and 8.5 sacks, with those 18 TFL ranking tied for 10th on Nebraska’s single-season list[4]. Scouting and feature coverage described him as an intense, high-motor defender and an unsung energy piece who brought perseverance and fight to the Huskers’ front[8][9].
