Ohio State Football: Top National Signing Day targets
By Jordan Luth
5. Oliver Martin, WR 4-star (Iowa City, IA)
Oliver Martin may not be at the very top of Ohio State’s recruiting boards, but he is still someone that the Buckeyes could grab come Feb. 1.
Martin could be seen as fall back option if Ohio State isn’t able to get the other wide receivers that they want. Yet, Martin may not be a fall back option for other schools. He has ballooned into a very popular recruit since the summer.
He was invited to the U.S Army All-American game. After that, his stock blew up. Martin started as a 3-star recruit and has turned into a heavily recruited 4-star player. He never made a visit to Ohio State, but the Buckeyes wide receiver coach, Zach Smith, has been talking with him.
Ohio State will have to work hard if they are to get Martin. Michigan, Michigan State and Notre Dame are all going after the top recruit in the state of Iowa. He has made visits to Michigan State and Notre Dame as well as Iowa.
Martin is ranked as the 170th overall player and as the 28th best at his position by 247Sports composite rankings.
