Oliver Martin's waiver approved for immediate eligibility at Iowa

Oliver Martin got the word he and Iowa football fans have been clamoring for since he officially became a Hawkeye in early June.

Approved.

Yes, it happened. The talented wide receiver has been ruled eligible to play this season, just in the nick of time.

The final word came Wednesday morningfrom the Big Ten Conference, five days after initial approval came from the NCAA, according to a source with direct knowledge of the process.

Martin will have three years of eligibility for the Hawkeyes, starting with Saturday’s 6:40 p.m. opener against Miami of Ohio.

Martin and his inner circle have known since Friday that his appeal for immediate eligibility was granted by the NCAA.

He didn't. The conference had to approve it as well since it was interconference.

He has 3 years but will likely only play 15 games for us before transferring to the nfl. He finishes second in the heisman to stanley but decides to move on anyways

Where is evil monkey? SHIP!!!

Maybe he didn't want to rock any boats and say he was good then have the conference pull the rug from under them just to make an example.

That's speculation though.

Lawyers can be very beneficial in certain circumstances.

Has any conference actually turned down a kid that the ncaa approved?

Doesn't seem like a very good idea to me.

Not that it matters now

 

[BigDelHawk]

Isn't Martin More of a Slot Reciever?

 

[MepoDawg#]

Isn't Martin More of a Slot Reciever?

He can play either, but yes.

 

[EpenesaEpenesa]

Isn't Martin More of a Slot Reciever?

He can play both. Wouldnt be surprised to see him deep on punt return at some point either.

I would be considering Kirk mentioned 3 guys for the punt returner job and none of them were Martin.

Oh well!

Technically not a lie. BT had not approved yet, even if that was a formality.

But man they can eat your lunch without you realizing they are doing it. At least the good ones can.

Prob Bc he wasn’t ruled eligible. Kirk loves white guys with good hands returning.

This would have caused a major stampede.

That’s not the case bc otherwise he wouldn’t have been preparing to play as WR either. ISM is #1 with Ragaini #2. Cooper#3
