Season opener for UT recruiting target Kaden Martin, son of Tee Martin.

KNOXVILLE — Kaden Martin got his junior football season off to a roaring start for Knoxville Catholic High School Friday night. He had his hands in three touchdowns as the Irish routed Chuckey-Doak at home.

A little rain did not slow Martin or KCHS down in a 42-0 victory at Blaine Stadium.

Martin, the son of University of Tennessee assistant head coach and national championship winning quarterback for the Vols, Tee Martin, rushed for 63 yards and two touchdowns on just four carries.

One of the younger Martin’s five completions was a 64-yard scoring strike to Luke Davenport. The quarterback amassed 138 yards through the air.

Kaden did this with his brother, Amari Rodgers (now playing for Clemson), and former teammate Bryn Tucker (a freshman lineman for the Tigers) watching from the stands.

Kaden is also a baseball star for Knoxville Catholic. As a freshman in 2019, he was the District 4-AAA Rookie of the Year.

He has multiple baseball, football and two-sport college scholarship offers from the likes of Tennessee, Arkansas, Missouri, Alabama, Southern California, Kentucky and Southern University.

Martin and the Irish will face a huge test this week when they host Trinity Christian-Cedar Hill from the Dallas, Texas Area Saturday.

Trinity is a three-time defending Texas Private and Parochial School state champion and had won 39 of its last 42 games heading into the 2020 campaign.

The team’s offensive coordinator is Super Bowl champion and Pro Football Hall of Famer Deion Sanders. Sanders’ son, Shedeur, is the starting quarterback and is has committed to Florida Atlantic University.

Sheduer Sanders also has offers from Tennessee, Arizona State, Alabama, LSU, Georgia and other top schools.

Kickoff is slated for noon and the game will be nationally televised on the ESPN networks.

Kaden Martin gets two-sport offer from Razorbacks.

KNOXVILLE — The baseball offers from the Southeastern Conference just keep rolling in for Knoxville Catholic High School sophomore Kaden Martin.

Martin, the son of former Tennessee quarterback and current Volunteers’ assistant head coach and passing game coordinator Tee Martin, received an offer from Arkansas.

Kaden, who has baseball offers from the Diamond Vols and Missouri, also received an offer to play football for the Razorbacks.

He is a multiple sport athlete for KCHS, also playing quarterback for the Fighting Irish, who went 7-4 in 2019.

The younger Martin, who enrolled at Knoxville Catholic last winter after spending the first semester of his freshman year in Southern California, was the District 4-AAA Rookie of the year in one of the most competitive high school baseball leagues in the Volunteer State.

He announced the offer Friday on Twitter.

KNOXVILLE — After Tennessee baseball extended a scholarship offer to Knoxville Catholic star quarterback and pitcher Kaden Martin, Jeremy Pruitt has joined Tony Vitello’s program in trying to bring Martin to Knoxville.

It is no secret that Martin is the son of Tennessee wide receivers coach and former national championship-winning quarterback Tee Martin. Attracting plenty of attention for both sports, Martin already held offers from Alabama, Ole Miss, USC, Kentucky and others before Tennessee got on the board.

As part of the 2022 recruiting class, Martin is still young in his development, but he burst onto the football scene as a dual-threat quarterback for local powerhouse Knoxville Catholic.

It is unclear whether Martin prefers baseball over football or vice versa, or if he wants to play both.

Tennessee baseball offers Kaden Martin.

While Knoxville Catholic sophomore Kaden Martin is widely regarded as an exciting prospect as a dual-threat quarterback, his skills on the diamond are drawing attention as well.

Tennessee baseball has extended an offer to the local product, as he announced on his Twitter page on Wednesday.

Martin is the son of Tennessee wide receivers coach and former national championship-winning quarterback Tee Martin.

As a left-handed pitcher and outfielder standing at 6-foot-1 and 205-pounds, Martin will likely have his choice to play collegiate football or baseball at a high level, or possible even elect to sign for an MLB team by the end of his high school career.

Martin already holds offers from schools such as Alabama, Kentucky and USC to play football. When put on a national stage in early October, Martin did not disappoint, scoring five total touchdowns as he led Knoxville Catholic to a win over Brentwood Academy in a game broadcasted on ESPN.

While Tony Vitello and Tennessee baseball have officially put themselves in the running for Martin’s services, the rising junior still does not hold an offer from Tennessee football.

With his father on staff, it will be interesting to see if the Vols extend an offer to the talented dual-threat quarterback and decide to pursue along with the baseball program, allowing him to play both.
