Senior Mike Martin hopes to help Navy rebuild depth at fullback

Mike Martin has struggled to find a foothold with the Navy football program.

Martin arrived in Annapolis as a fairly highly-touted slotback recruit from Pine Bush High in upstate New York.

The Capital wrote a recruiting story about Martin when he was a senior in high school because he chose Navy over archrival Army even though he grew up less than an hour from West Point.

Navy usually has about 15-17 slotbacks on the roster so the competition at that position is quite fierce. Martin did not see any varsity action as either a freshman or a sophomore and found himself on the move.
