The saga of Tate Martell might have finally come to an end. The former five-star, blue chip, can’t miss Elite 11 quarterback and star of Netflix’s “QB1” documentary series has opted out of the 2020 college football season. Somewhere Yogi Roth is proclaiming the Elite 11 staff teaches Grit to unsuspecting investors (you should really see the 2016 Elite 11 roster... it’s Tua, Fromm, Ehlinger, and a bunch of duds).
Martell has been much maligned since arriving in Coral Gables. He came in with a bang by making his own hype video about his potential, and was held up by the NCAA, before being cleared to play right away in 2019.
