Greensburg’s Brandon Martin transferred out of Greensburg Central Catholic and is enrolled at The Phelps School in Chester County.
College offers are rolling in for Brandon Martin.
The 6-foot-7 basketball player from Greensburg added two more NCAA Division I scholarship opportunities this week, both from the Mid-American Conference in Kent State and Ohio University.
Martin transferred out of Greensburg Central Catholic and is enrolled at The Phelps School in Chester County in the Class of 2028. He now has a half-dozen offers, the others from Marshall, Manhattan, Fairfield and LaSalle.
He said colleges are warming up to him on the AAU circuit, where he is playing up at the 16U level with Nova Village out of Columbus, Ohio. He plays on the Under Armour Association circuit.
The long-limbed swingman has shown a knack for finishing at the rim, often on dunks, while handling the ball well for his size.
“Coaches see I can play (positions) 1-5 and defend 1-5,” he said. “And just them getting to see me live against top players in the country also helps that. The coaches getting to see my work ethic and high motor and defensive play is also what they like.”
Martin, who is averaging 10 points per game this summer, thinks his upside potential is what is behind the early offers.
“I have great positional size and a lot of time for my game to grow,” he said. “I think that’s why there rolling in at a fast rate.”
Martin made the Future 60 invitation-only camp last month at IMG Academy.
