J.D. Martin brings experienced, efficient backfield pop to Jackson State
In the 2024 season, J.D. Martin gave Jackson State a steady veteran presence at running back, rushing 26 times for 116 yards while adding 48 receiving yards and a touchdown catch. His calling card is versatility: he can finish drives, catch the ball cleanly out of the backfield, and offer enough burst to threaten defenses in space. At 6-foot-1 and 195 pounds, he profiles as a dependable, physical change-of-pace back with proven production and senior-season poise—useful if a team wants reliability, receiving ability, and experience more than flash.
