Utah State’s speedy, low-volume playmaker with explosive upside
In the 2011 season, Xavier Martin flashed big-play juice for Utah State, finishing with 18 catches for 344 yards and 2 touchdowns, including a 19.1 yards-per-catch average that screams vertical threat.[10] The buzz on him centers on speed, separation ability, and return value, with Utah State describing him as having “tremendous speed,” which makes him a fit for teams that want a receiver who can stress defenses and flip field position.[9][4] He looks like a high-upside weapon rather than a polished volume target—more lightning bolt than chain mover.
