Chris Martin Profile

Chris Martin, from the Oakland, Calif., area, contacted Irish Eyes on Monday afternoon to inform the site he was offered a verbal scholarship by Notre Dame.
"I just got off the phone with Coach Ianello and they offered me," Martin said. "They're going to make it official when I meet Coach Weis on my visit."
"My family back in Indiana called me instantly and were really elated to hear that I'm interested in the Irish."
Martin plans to visit Notre Dame in a couple weeks. His father grew up in Bedford, Ind., and Martin has made six or seven trips back to his Dad's old stomping grounds.
A first-team sophomore all-state selection, Martin had 108 tackles, four sacks, three forced fumbles and two interceptions last fall, helping Bishop O’Dowd reach the state playoffs.
Martin has also been offered by USC, UCLA, California, Colorado, Oregon and Stanford.
