The A-List counts down AL.com's top 15 prospects in the state.

Ask Asa Martin what his hometown is and he'll proudly tell you Courtland.

Martin is a four-star, 2018 running back at Austin High in Decatur, but he grew up about 21 miles west in the tiny, football-rich town of Courtland in Lawrence County.

"Growing up in Courtland, there ain't much to do around there, so me and my cousins played football out in the front yard," said Martin, the No. 4 player on AL.com's A-List of the state's top senior recruits.
