Youngstown State’s Dawan Martin brings length, burst, and real edge pressure
Dawan Martin is a 6-foot-4, 250-pound defensive lineman from Youngstown who has shown he can turn size into disruption, posting 3.5 sacks in the 2024 season and earning praise for his long frame and outside-edge length. He played in all 13 games in 2024 and was described by YSU coaches as a player whose role was set to grow thanks to his leadership and development. For a team needing a high-motor, versatile front-line defender who can stress quarterbacks and the run, he’s an intriguing fit.
