Martin Celebrates Birth of His Son Husky

"Whatever the team wants me to do, I'm there."The 6-foot-4, 267-pound defender has become a full-time starter this season after playing 32 games as a reserve for his SEC team and spending last season with the Huskies rotating in until Darius Miller Jersey an Apple Cup start, his first at the college level. His football career is right where he wants it.Scroll to ContinueOnce Kalen DeBoer's staff came in, those coaches took an instant liking to Martin's physicality and he's one reason the talented Zion Tupuola-Fetui comes off the bench for the Huskies. Martin next became a team captain. He has a UW-leading 5 sacks in seven games.If all of that wasn't enough, the Huskies sent the rugged No. 3, not to be confused with wide receiver Taj Davis, who wears the same jersey digit, out with the offense a couple of times against Arizona to clear a path blocking. Of course, Martin and this Davis couldn't be on the field at the same time with a duplicate number.We snuck him in there, DeBoer said of Martins offensive appearance. Hes been in there before. He had a kid Derrick Favors Jersey on Thursday and you go play defense Saturday . You might as well just throw some more things on his plate, right? Hes just a beast out there. Theres some things where we feel like he can help us out. He really got up there and mashed."If all of that football stuff wasn't just a little overwhelming trying to keep up with his two-way responsibilities, Martin is a new father. His coach remembers him returning to the team on Friday all excited by the birth of Kenrich Williams Jersey his son yet ready to play a football game.Hes not the one having the kid, but its a lot; it's emotionally draining," DeBoer said. "I was thinking, Hes going to hit the wall on Saturday,' but hes a guy thats so positive. He came to me after the game and was just so appreciative of where things are at, just personally and also on the football field." as
