Football Verbal--Jamel Martin

The Falcons have their 17th football verbal.  ESPN.com is reporting that Jamel Martin of Bolingbroke, IL has committed to the Falcons.  He is a RB who, from the scouting report, appears to be an inside runner who runs well in a crowd.  ESPN rates him a 73, which is pretty good.

Bolingbrook is known for RBs....in fact, it is referred to as "Tailback High" in the Chicago Tribune.  Martin was special mention all-state, and had 20 carries for 176 yards in a state playoff game, and he had 1,24 yards in 180 carries for the season.  The Tribune reported here that he had a "handful" of scholarship offers.

If you want to see some video, look here.



He is the first projected RB in this year's class.  Welcome to the Falcons, Jamel Martin.
