Jerrick Martin brings long-frame upside and two-way toughness to Missouri State’s secondary
In 2026, freshman safety Jerrick Martin looks like a high-upside add for Missouri State: he’s listed at 6-foot-4, 195 pounds, and arrived after a senior season at Glasgow (Ky.) in which he earned second-team all-state honors and posted 11 receiving touchdowns and 556 receiving yards on offense, a reminder he’s a legit athlete, not just a one-dimensional defensive back.[1][12] He fits the “why care” box because his size, versatility, and playmaking background suggest real development upside, though he’s still early in his college career and needs time to turn raw tools into consistent Saturday production.[1][12]
