Senior LB Powerhouse with Elite Tackling and Blitz Instincts for Marshall

Kerion Martin, a 6'1", 220-lb senior linebacker for the Marshall Thundering Herd, is a high-intensity defensive anchor who averaged 9.0 total tackles per game through the first two games of the 2025 season, including 2.0 tackles for loss and 1.0 sack [1][4]. His differentiators include rare blitz efficiency for a traditional LB, evidenced by his 0.5 sacks/game rate and ability to disrupt plays behind the line, combined with a physical, relentless playing style that reflects his Charleston, WV roots [4]. With no reported injury history and an active status, Martin offers immediate linebacker depth with NFL-caliber size and aggression, making him a strong fit for teams needing a versatile, tackle-heavy defender who can also pressure the QB [1][4].
