QB1 is on his third team.
According to a report from Josh Poloha of WFNY in Cleveland, former Ohio State quarterback Tate Martell, will be transferring to UNLV for this upcoming season.
You know the story well most likely. Martell committed to Ohio State out of high school to much fanfare and was expected to eventually be the quarterback of the future in Columbus. However, Dwayne Haskins won the starting job in 2018, then Justin Fields transferred from Georgia the following offseason, prompting Martell to enter the transfer portal.
Martell saw the writing on the wall and quickly thereafter announced his decision to transfer to Miami but never really found his way on the field consistently in South Florida either, even trying things at wide receiver at one point. He opted out of the 2020 season.
Former four-star Bishop Gorman (Las Vegas) QB Tate Martell — who began his collegiate career at Ohio State before transferring to Miami — will attend UNLV this fall, a source has told WFNY.
Martell goes back home to Vegas and still has two years of eligibility remaining.

For Martell, it’s a chance to maybe go home and make something finally of a college career that hasn’t gone nearly like he’s wanted. Martell is a graduate of Bishop Gorman High School in Las Vegas and was the 2016-2017 Gatorade High School Player of the Year.
