Martin has been a bright spot for the Nittany Lions in a tumultuous start to the defending National Champions’ 2025 season. In a win over USC, Martin hit .292 with 29 kills, 13 digs, five blocks, and two aces in a five-set thriller on Friday at Rec Hall.
The Florida transfer hit an impressive .348 hitting percentage and averaged seven kills a set over the two matches the Nittany Lions had last week. The blue and white went 1-1 on the week against USC and UCLA.
Martin had a career-high 34 kills in the four-set loss to the Bruins on Sunday. The mark was the most by a Nittany Lion in a match since 1995. It’s the second time the Fort Mill, South Carolina native has won Big Ten Player of the Week honors this season.
