Martin is the second defensive end to commit in the class, joining Columbia-Rock Bridge’s Tre Williams.

Martin is a three-star Rivals recruit with more than a dozen other offers, including Kentucky, Louisville and Memphis. He is listed as 6 feet-2 inches and 265 pounds.

Missouri now has six defensive players in its 2016 recruiting class.
