ATH Quinton Martin 

Speaking of elite talent, there’s not many more elite than 5-star athlete Quinton Martin.

From Belle Vernon, PA, Martin has the ability to be a standout at running back, wide receiver and outside linebacker. There’s an argument to be made that he may be the best football player Pennsylvania has seen since Micah Parsons, he does it all.

As a running back in 2021, Martin ran for 902 yards and 12 touchdowns. Imagine Penn State’s 2024 running back room consisting of Nick Singleton, Kaytron Allen, London Montgomery and Martin. That could end up being one of the best groups in the nation.

If that room is too crowded though, he could also move out to wide receiver and get the ball in his hands. If that doesn’t work, he could end up as a game-wrecker on defense.

The point is, Martin is the type of talent you want on your team. You can figure out the position later, the athleticism is just too good to not want.

Martin currently has 16 offers but hasn’t done much in terms of visits lately.

Penn State was one of the first schools to offer Martin and it will fight to stay in his recruitment until the very end.
