Tavares Martin Jr.’s departure from Washington State didn’t exactly go like everybody probably wanted it to. Depending on who you believe, he was either cut between the Apple Cup and the Holiday Bowl or he asked for his release before being given the boot.
However it went down, it wasn’t pretty and Martin Jr. opted to declare for the NFL draft rather than transfer somewhere else.
He finished the 2017 season with 831 yards receiving on 70 receptions and nine touchdowns. The 831 yards and nine touchdowns led the team, and he was one reception off the team lead.
