A sleeper running back in Forsyth County who played very well when healthy, Martin is a shifty back with above-average athleticism and impressive burst up the middle. He can change directions, shows good field vision, and can even help on special teams. He’s an effective runner who flashes the ability to play somewhere at the next level. He runs hard and was a major weapon for the East Forsyth offense this season, and now he’s ranked No. 348 overall in the state for the 2025 class.

I highlighted Gus Martin Gus Martin 5'8" | 175 lbs | RB East Forsyth | 2025 State GA earlier this season and he proved some of the hype coming into this game. He is a smaller scat-back, but fought hard for his yards and handled contact well, which is good to see for a smaller guy. Especially early on, Martin frequently out-angled defenses to the edge and created explosive plays when given space to operate, indicating some serious speed. While the defense started to adjust, he still found ways to make an impact, such as lining up on defense and making a huge sack backed up against their endzone. Gus Martin Gus Martin 5'8" | 175 lbs | RB East Forsyth | 2025 State GA holds small-school offers and will get an opportunity at one of those schools, but I think there’s a chance some D1’s throw their hat in the picture, as he is a proven playmaker with good speed.
