Former Maryland and UCLA Quarterback Justyn Martin Transferring to Ohio State
Ohio State adds veteran depth to its quarterback room as former Maryland and UCLA QB Justyn Martin commits to the Buckeyes.
Former Maryland and UCLA Quarterback Justyn Martin Transferring to Ohio State
A four-star prospect in the 2022 recruiting class, Martin made just one start in three seasons at UCLA, completing 22 of 30 passing attempts for 167 yards and a touchdown in a 2024 loss to Penn State.
Martin competed with Malik Washington to be the starting quarterback at Maryland last season, but was injured in the Terrapins’ season opener against FAU and did not play again for the rest of the year. He did not attempt a pass in his lone game appearance.
St. Clair still projects as Ohio State’s likely No. 2 quarterback in 2026 and eventual successor to Sayin in 2027, but Martin adds some valuable experience to the quarterback depth chart following Lincoln Kienholz’s transfer to Louisville.
A fifth-year senior, Martin is in his final year of traditional eligibility but could receive an additional year of eligibility if he applies for a medical hardship waiver after playing in just one game last season.
