Michigan football offers eighth grade LB Tyler Martin

What were you doing in eight grade? Maybe you had an awkward grade school fling, or you were fearing the days of becoming a high schooler. While those things may be true for Class of 2022 linebacker Tyler Martin, who also was a varsity starter for Buckingham Brown and Nichols School in Acton, Massachusetts.

While Martin is only in eighth grade, he is 6’3”, 227 lbs according to his Twitter page. The 15-year-old led the team in tackles last season, and was very impressive on the field. See for yourself:

Obviously this kid is a raw prospect, but he potentially has high level size, athleticism, and elusiveness for the LB position.
