In the 2006 season, Ryan Martin stood out as a physical, high-intensity guard who brought real rebounding punch for Wichita State, averaging 5.5 points and 4.7 rebounds on a Sweet 16 team, with a career-high 13 rebounds in one game and double-figure scoring in NCAA Tournament play.[1][2][3] His profile suggests a tough, team-first fit: not a flashy volume scorer, but a grinder who impacts winning with toughness, glass-cleaning, and reliable energy—exactly the kind of guy coaches love when the game gets ugly.[1][2]
