Ray’von Martin is coming on strong as a pass rusher for Danville. Martin, a 6-foot-3, 230-pound defensive end, is a very good pass rusher who can be very disruptive. What stands out about him is his ability to set a vertical edge, lock out with his arms, and shed blocks. He plays with good bend, leverage and is a good tackler with a high motor. Really under-the-radar tight end/defensive end.

Ray’Von Martin Ray’Von Martin 6'3" | 225 lbs | TE Danville | 2027 State IN is a big tight end prospect for Avon who can high-point the ball. He displays soft hands especially around the endzone where his size and height presents matchup problems for opposing defenses, enabling him to score. Big target over the middle of the field. Has a good frame, very athletic-looking prospect. Picked up his first offer from Marian after the Indiana Preps summer camp.

Martin is a fantastic athlete who moves and bends well. He’s fast off the line with very little wasted movement. He can help chip on the edge and then get out on a route down the field. He’s a good outlet who can pick up yards after the catch. He’s quicker than LBs anticipate and can burn them when they take poor angles. He can help stretch the field and give the offense a big target down the field. He had an incredibly impressive TD catch in the corner of the endzone last season, which points to what he can do in the redzone. It was a high-point contested grab where he made it look easy while being held on the way up. The raw talent is there, and I wouldn’t be shocked if Martin flies up boards nationally.

Martin is an upcoming TE who is really starting to find his groove on the field. He’s made the transition from linebacker with success. He’s an overall rangy athlete who bends well and has a great vertical. He’s got long arms and can extend to make just about any catch in his radius. He’s a bit raw in the blocking game, but he’s a perfect WR-type TE you flex outside for a matchup advantage.
