Former Ohio State quarterback Tate Martell has found his way into the NCAA’s transfer portal once again, this time as a graduate transfer.
We kind of lost track of Tathan because he opted out of the 2020 season with Miami after it was announced that he’d serve a one-game suspension. Still, the thought was that he’d continue to take classes at “The U” and come back for another season.
Wrong.
The transfer portal has struck again and it appears as though Martell is shopping his services in hopes of finally getting a football career that came with a lot of pre-hype off the ground.
He first entered the mesmerizing and infamous transfer portal (don’t stare at it too long or it’ll hurt your eyes), early in 2019 after Haskins left for the NFL and rumors circulated about a guy named Justin Fields thinking about backing the U-Haul up to the banks of the Olentangy. He eventually landed at Miami but still has never been able to grab onto the playing time he’s in search of.

We’ll keep some eyeballs on this, but we hear there’s a school up in Michigan that might need a QB (wouldn’t that be fun). In all seriousness though, we’ve always wished Martell well and hope he gets what he’s looking for.
