I don't think he was a fit on the new DL.
He could possibly play OT because of his height.
But OLmen and DLmen are different.
Their personalities.
Think WV ends up with the RB from Bluefield.

Isn't Isaiah Johnson from Bluefield as well.
Looks like Brewster and Mack Brown are bringing him in to get Johnson.
Johnson is legit. Maybe the best CB next year. Will be recruited by everyone.

They are lying to Martin if they are telling him he will play DE. Doesn't have the agility. He is a space eater.
But it is the oldest trick. You bring in a fringe player because he is good friends with an elite player.
Watch him transfer if UNC doesn't get Isaiah Johnson.

Considering Va. Tech is an hour or less drive from Bluefield, it's pretty much understandable. With UNC only 2 hours from Bluefield. I would say they see more ACC games than they do Big 12 games or WVU.

Good to know about Bluefield. Knew it was pretty close to Virginia
What is the story on Ironton, OH.
Been hearing that is pretty much West Virginia.
A lot of people there watch WV football or what?

Sean Martin is 6-7 240....
He's a DE

Stop pretending that you live outside of West Virginia. Ironton, Ohio is Ohio State country, but you know this already.

I had my rear end kicked at Tank Memorial Stadium back in the day. I'm still trying to tackle Coy Bacon's nephew, who at about 230 pounds, made it a habit of running over defensive backs in the old SEOAL. The Fightin' Tigers were no joke.

They've had a couple of running backs go to MU but never really got into the rotation for the Herd! Obviously Mark Snyder was a good player for us, hard hitting safety which he learned over at Tank field! Another tough place to get a call if you're the visitor!

Ohio State currently has no players from Ironton on their roster. Neither does WVU. So whoever told you Ironton was pretty much WVU was wrong.

I'm pretty sure that Snyder quarterbacked the Ironton team that cleaned our clocks, but the Tigers' running backs left more of a lasting impression.

No one said WVU
They said the state of WV.
People in that part of Ohio closer to KY and WV than let us say Akron or Columbus.

Ironton has a legit 2021 LB. Don't know if WVU offered him yet but he has the athletic ability and the football IQ to potentially become a NFL level LB.

I've only known FBS players from Ironton over the last 50 years to attend OSU or MU! If they're really a hot commodity they wear the scarlet and grey! Maybe OU is picking up some these days.

QB and S, I remember that kid, his last name wasn't Bacon like his Uncle.
I thought that his name was, "Dennis Bacon," but I might be wrong. All three running backs in Ironton's full house backfield were tough. The "scat" back's name might have been, "Mike Smith."

The kid you're talking about was thick and fast. Saw him run all over Boyd County one evening! I want to say his last name was Jackson.
