NorCal RB has high ceiling
Running back Doug Martin (5-11, 193, 4.4) from Stockton (Calif.) Saint Mary's is player who has a very high ceiling. He is a virtual neophyte to the game of football. He has only been playing since his freshman season.
"Doug was concentrating on basketball when he was recruited to play football by the coaching staff," Doug Martin, Sr., said. "They liked his potential and so far it appears that he's fulfilling that potential."
