depth-piece blue-collar DL with a clean Presbyterian debut
In the 2024 season, Sam Martin made his Presbyterian debut and recorded a tackle in the opener after not seeing game action in 2023, which points to a player still carving out his role rather than flashing with big numbers. His appeal is the classic trench-worker profile: developmental upside, roster flexibility, and the kind of willingness-to-work mentality coaches love in a defensive lineman. If you want immediate stat-sheet fireworks, he’s not that guy yet; if you want an uphill climber who looks like he’ll keep grinding for snaps, he’s worth a closer look.
