Roanoke Rapids (N.C.) defensive end Kareem Martin is one of the most athletic rising seniors in the Tar Heel state. Not only does he excel on the gridiron, but the 6-6, 230-pound prospect almost averaged a triple-double in basketball and is currently running track. Martin’s athleticism was on display on Sunday at the Nike Training Camp in Charlottesville.

“It was the most diverse of the camps I had been to. A lot of good athletes were up there,” Martin said. “I felt I stacked up real well. I only lost maybe one or two one-on-ones. The ones I lost were to the MVP of the camp and I actually beat him (Petersburg OL and West Virginia commit Quintin Spain) once.”

Martin turned in a successful junior season – racking up 121 tackles with five sacks – and looks for greater success as a result of participating in camps and combines.

“It’ll help out a lot because, when I go to these camps, I play against the best players in the region,” Martin said. “Playing against them really helps develop my skills, especially when I play against players who aren’t on the same level.”
