Michigan football offered Tyler Martin when he was in eighth grade.
That early connection paid off Friday as Martin verbally committed to the Wolverines' 2022 recruiting class.
Martin, 6-foot-3 and 238 pounds, is a four-star recruit and the No. 271 prospect in his class, according to the 247Sports Composite rankings.
He chose the Wolverines over offers from Boston College, Nebraska and Virginia, among others.
