Missing bowl game
Martin won't play in Saturday's Bowl Game against Georgia Tech and will undergo shoulder surgery, Mitch Harper of KSL News Salt Lake City reports.
Impact
Martin will undergo surgery to correct a shoulder injury he sustained in October against Iowa State. He played through the injury for the rest of the season, but he'll opt to undergo surgery now to begin the rehab process and prevent further injury. Martin rushed 236 times for 1,305 yards and 12 touchdowns this season.

Great despite bad loss
Martin totaled 19 carries for 76 yards and one touchdown and reeled in 7 of 8 targets for 31 yards during Saturday's 34-7 defeat versus Texas Tech.
Impact
Martin was one of BYU's few bright spots in a loss that ultimately cost the Cougars a spot in the College Football Playoff. He logged a season-high in targets, which led to that for reception as well. The running back has scored in each of BYU's last four games, with seven touchdowns in said span. Even though Martin logged great 2023 and 2024 seasons, his 2025 campaign has been unparalleled. In this year alone, he has logged more rushing yards (1,305), receiving yards (255) and rushing touchdowns (12) than those from his first two seasons combined.

Scores three TDs Saturday
Martin totaled 22 carries for 95 yards and three touchdowns during Saturday's 41-21 win versus UCF.
Impact
Martin put together another great performance Saturday, scoring a hat trick of touchdowns in the win over UCF. He gained 130 yards from scrimmage in the win as well, bringing him to nearly 400 yards and five touchdowns over just the last two games. Next up is a rematch with Texas Tech in the Big 12 Championship game with a spot in the College Football Playoff on the line. Martin totaled 64 yards from scrimmage on 16 touches in Week 11 versus the Red Raiders and will likely need to do a lot more in order to secure the win this time around.

Impact
Martin dominated the Bearcats Saturday, gaining 266 yards from scrimmage and scoring twice in the win. He set career highs in carries (32) and rushing yards (222), and he also led the team with 44 receiving yards. It was easily his best performance of the season and he now has over 1,300 yards from scrimmage and eight touchdowns through 11 games.
