Akio Martinson is a disruptive, multi-sport DL with proven backfield production and upside
Martinson projects as a high-motor defensive lineman who has already shown real pass-rush juice: in the 2025 season at Washington State, he played in 10 games with 42 tackles, 6.5 tackles for loss, 3.5 sacks, and a forced fumble. He also brings a strong prep background, earning All-State and first-team all-defensive line honors while also competing in shot put and discus, which hints at power and explosiveness. For a team, the appeal is a compact blend of toughness, versatility, and disruption—he looks like a good fit if you want an edge-setter who can also create negative plays.
