Cali High's #25 player in California heading into his senior year. Here's some of what they said about him:

At 6’3 315 pounds Marcus Martin has the body of a full grown man. Martin has bone crushing power, often easily blowing defensive lineman off the line using just his arms. Martin gets good leverage for such a big guard showing good form and gets into his stance quickly off the snap.

Bleacher Report Los Angeles rated Martin as the #5 prospect from LA this year.

Here's some of it:

He's become somewhat of a hot commodity since a dominating performance at the NIKE camp in Los Angeles back in April.

Martin isn't as athletic as some of the other offensive line prospects in the 2011 class, which is one of the reasons he hasn't gotten as much national attention, but his strength and run blocking are really quite impressive.

Oops. Forgot the Colorado offer in his profile. :lol:

It's looking like Martin, a long-time USC commit, is shopping around. He's at Arizona this weekend.

AZ's BuffScoop reports that he will visit CU next weekend. AZ should have an interview with Martin in the next few days.

Apparently, Martin has gotten nervous that he'd be one of the casualties if USC doesn't win its appeal with the NCAA. He's looking for a more secure opportunity.
 
if we got marcus to play dl and the guy who is visiting next week... syko would prolly explode in his pants
 
I believe I read that Nebraska is recruiting for DL. So I think there may not be any dependency on Asiata's decision.
 
Even if they are both OL, why not take both. I think they're much more in line with where JE wants to go than Mustoe. He wants the nasty run blockers, IMO.

I heard Embree say that he's looking for the Nate Solder body type out of his tackles. I think he's looking for road graders on the interior at guard (Asiata, Martin) and center has to be a similar build but also a very good athlete with great football smarts (Kelley).
 
I think the Bryant kid (michigan commit) appears to carry his 300+ lbs a little bit better than this guy. Even so, this is a big fella and obviously USC has a penchant for bringing in quality prospects, so if we can nab him, great for us.
 
Found a new Scout article: http://recruiting.scout.com/2/1042047.html

"I am not committed to USC right now," said Martin. "I'm weighing my options with my family. It will come down to Signing Day."

On Signing Day, Martin will choose from the Trojans, Arizona and Colorado.

He's already visited USC and took a trip to Arizona this weekend, with a visit to Colorado lined up for next weekend.
