How’d he get to The Blue™?

Chase heated up late in the recruiting cycle. Up until that final November, his only offers were Ohio and a few Mountain West schools. The next few weeks escalated for the three star, with Baylor and Wazzu entering the race. Then, in December, Chase got an offer he couldn’t refuse. One of the winningest programs in the country, 3-time Fiesta Bowl winner and national darling, the Boise State Broncos sent an offer his way, 2 weeks before signing day. He visited the next day, and made things official on signing day.

Nickname

“Martin the Chaste”

Not to go overboard on the lookalikes (see: below), but it wouldn’t be the only thing he has in common with Ned Flanders

Look-alike

This whole vibe screams Allen Covert’s character from The Wedding Singer. But, under the facial hair, his actual bone structure might be more similar to champion boxer, Alexander Povetkin.

Career Highlights

Martin was an early enrollee and played as a true freshman. In his first two seasons as a Bronco, he’s gotten into pretty much every game on special teams and has logged in 19 total tackles.

2025 Prospectus

Already a standout on special teams, Chase is almost certainly going to have a spot on the two deep at linebacker. As a result, anticipate that even if he doesn’t start, he will get a decent amount of playing time as a reserve.

Is he on Twitter?

He is! @chasemartin_12. He’s more retweets than tweets, but it’s clear he is bleeding blue and taking “built different” to heart. Particularly, by being built like Thor.

Completely made up fact

While his visual aesthetic lends itself to that of Adam Sandler’s wingman in The Wedding Singer, his actual ambition is to be a renowned crooner himself. If he’s in an exceptionally echoey room, he can flawlessly recreate the theme music from Halo, he has shattered more than one crystal glass with his vocal range, and he’s one of the only people on earth that can flawlessly perform “It’s The End of the World As We Know It” without missing a single word.
