In his senior season Martin quarterbacked football team to the program's second state title game in as many years. The Trojans lost to Eden Prairie in the 2011 Prep Bowl, putting a disappointing end to Wayzata's otherwise perfect season.
Martin threw for more than 1,600 yards last fall, including 199 against traditional powerhouse Cretin-Durham Hall in the state semi-finals. He ended his senior season with 23 touchdowns and just six interceptions. He was also the team's punter and as a freshman may compete for that job in college.
