a punishing, high-effort Spartans back with old-school toughness
Lance Martin’s San Jose State profile points to a physical, downhill running back who brings toughness and extra-effort energy rather than flash. The stat trail shows he was productive in the early 2000s, including a 2004 season with 276 carries for 1,384 rushing yards and 12 rushing touchdowns, plus 12 catches for 98 yards, so his value is clear: reliable volume, contact balance, and a workload-friendly style[1][2]. He looks like the kind of back who fits a physical run game and steady chain-moving role, especially if you want grit over glitz[6][11].
