TaRyan Martin brings compact, slashing upside to Kent State's backfield
TaRyan Martin is a 5-8, 190-pound freshman RB from East St. Louis who arrived at Kent State with a reputation for efficient production and quick-twitch burst: in his high school career, he rushed for 776 yards on 73 carries with seven total touchdowns, and recruiting services viewed him as a solid mid-tier prospect with an industry rating of 84.65. He looks like a fit if you want a low-center-of-gravity runner with juice, balance, and potential as a space player; the knock is that his college résumé is still thin, so the big question is how fast that play strength translates against FBS fronts.
