3-star IOL Robby Martin signs with NC state
Robby Martin, one of NC State football’s top priority offensive line prospects for more than a year, officially signed with the Wolfpack Wednesday morning. He is the highest-ranked commit at his position.
The guard and center recruit from West Virginia brings a toughness and an edge that, paired with impressive strength, makes him a very intriguing prospect.

How Robby Martin ended up at NC State
NC State, Maryland, Penn State and West Virginia all made Martin’s final four July 23, following an official visit schedule that included stops to see the Wolfpack and the Mountaineers. He spent June 16-18 in Raleigh.
His trip to Raleigh went well, and the priority lineman said he meshed well with his future teammates.
West Virginia hosted Martin more than any other school, but the Wolfpack maintained a constant presence in his recruitment. In the days leading up to his commitment, the lineman tried to visit Raleigh one last time July 26, but travel complications stopped his trip after making most of the drive. He joined the Wolfpack’s class July 31.
Offensive line coach Garett Tujague was his primary recruiter.
“Coach Tujague and I built a strong relationship,” Martin said during his official visit. “It’s been a good one, and I think we’re only building a bigger bond.”
Why Robby Martin picked NC State
“I really like it a lot here,” Martin said during his official visit. “I’ve had a good time with some of the recruits and some of the players. I think I fit in with some of the players well.”
