Ohio State lands former Maryland, UCLA quarterback Justyn Martin
COLUMBUS – With backup Lincoln Kienholz entering the Transfer Portal, Ohio State needed to add an another quarterback this offseason. The Buckeyes got their guy on Monday in former Maryland signal-caller Justyn Martin.
Martin will have two seasons of eligibility left with the Buckeyes.
Ohio State hosted Martin for a visit over the weekend and quarterbacks coach Billy Fessler worked quickly to secure his commitment. Martin will backup Heisman trophy finalist quarterback Julian Sayin next season.
Martin appeared in one game for the Terrapins this past season. However, he did not attempt a pass during his lone season at Maryland. Martin did make one start for UCLA in 2024 against Penn State. He threw for 167 yards and one touchdown while completing 73% of his passes.
