Gritty special-teams safety with academic polish
Garrick Martin is a 6-2, 190-pound redshirt senior safety whose value shows up in reliability, toughness, and team-first versatility rather than splash plays: in 2024 he played all 12 games mostly on special teams and finished with 4 tackles, including 3 solo stops, after handling coverage roles the year before as well.[6][3] He also brings a rare off-field differentiator as a two-time Academic All-Big 12 honoree, and his path from Division II Emporia State to Oklahoma State suggests a grinder’s mindset and strong coachability.[6][15] If you want a dependable depth piece who can help on special teams and in the locker room, he fits that profile well.[6]
