Oliver Martin Updates: Dec 27: Will not play (Shoulder injury). Is 5th on Depth Chart.

[Frosty7130]

How so? He still has 3 years left in his college career. Will he be a star? Maybe not, but it’s also to early to call him a failure.

*2 years

3 years removed from HS, he has a total of 16 catches for 153 yards and 2 TD, one of which came in garbage time against Rutgers, and another against a MAC team.

For a recruit of Martin's caliber (a 0.9251 4-Star, #7 WR and #47 player nationally), it's pretty reasonable to consider his career to this point as a disappointment.

 

[WSC72]

You are probably correct on two years, I was hedging he would find a way to be eligible this year as well.

 

[The Deplorable Sleeping Dog]

Martin was scrimmaging as a Michigan starter, transferred down to Iowa where he couldn't crack the top 4 and again transferring down to Nebraska. That is the quintessential "problem is the player" kind of career. Not really a bad guy but easily discontented. Everyone knows the guy that's always changing jobs.

Exactly. At some point you have to look at the one factor all of those things have in common.

Actually wasn't on the participation report. Didn't get in the field in any capacity.

Has he been determined eligible?

 

[anon_bb9wlf9kj42py]

Has he been determined eligible?

I'm guessing not, which is why we probably didn't see him. Kind of weird. I mean it's a nothing year anyway, might as well make him eligible.

 

[Frosty7130]

He is eligible because of the blanket waiver for 2020.

I do not think that is correct Frosty. But I’ve certainly been wrong before.

 

[nu2u]

Nebraska played two unranked walk-on players at WR against Ohio State - Wyatt Liewer and Levi Falck (a transfer from South Dakota).

Husker WR Oliver Martin feels 'fast and explosive,' and it's apparent to his coaches, teammates​

Blake Larsen, blast from the past. Five star recruit that didn't like to play football.

Nebraska wins the off season again, dang it how will Iowa compete with this?

 

[nu2u]

kind of surprised fran missed this one...

Of course he looks good, he's playing against Nebraska's defense.

I bet he is a solid contributor to their upcoming 4-8 season.

Hey! Having an Iowa outcast is better than what you had, right?

 

[WadeWilson]

Blake Larsen struggled with quite a few injuries as I recall.

 

[WSC72]

I think Martin has an All B1G year and the Huskers finally beat Iowa

That's a good joke. You made me smile.

Glad to see you set your sights so high.

I honestly do think he will have a nice year, not great but good. The beating Iowa part might be a bit of a stretch though.

 

[scotthawk1964]

I'm afraid Oliver's biggest college splash will go down as his pool dive commit with Harbaugh.

 

[BEAVERDALEHAWK]

That was his out. He just didn’t pan out. Not knocking him but that’s the truth.

 

[scotthawk1964]

Homer Simpson said it best, or should I say, sang it best:
"There was nothing in Al Capone's vault,
But it wasn't Geraldo's fault"

The only thing possible in Al Capone's vault is the last year Little Debbie football was relevant. LOL

dear god, i even want this thread to end

I only wish him well.

 

[UNIowaHawk]

Not this. To wish him well means he’s doing well for himself and Nebraska. I hope he drops 30 passes and fumbles away 20 more.

 

[nu2u]

OM finished with 5 catches for 47 yards in Nebraska's Spring scrimmage.

Was he on the team of starters? The team that lost?

1st unit, I believe. Unless something drastic happens it looks like he is starting WR game #1

So 0-1 to start the year.

 

[Herkmeister]

They gotta beat Fordham my friend. They gotta beat Fordham.

 

[rchawk]

They gotta beat Fordham my friend. They gotta beat Fordham.

And Fordham used to be a blue blood.

 

[David1979]

I would bet if he stays healthy he will have a decent year. Nothing spectacular but pretty solid and good for him if he does.
