Over the weekend, a basketball prospect from Western Pennsylvania took a visit to Ohio State.
Brandon Martin Jr. out of Greensburg Central Catholic visited the Buckeyes. He posted photos from the trip on his Twitter account.
“I’m a 6’6” combo guard, 15 years old,” Martin told PSN over the summer. “[I] can use both hands effectively, have a nice mid range game and play above the rim. On defense I am a pest, getting blocks off the backboard, blocking shots in general, getting steals, using my length. The thing that sticks out most about my game is my ability to play above the rim. There has been multiple times where I dunked on people.”
He received his first offer from Marshall earlier this year. Martin visited Duquesne on Nov. 4 for its opening game against Lipscomb. In addition to Ohio State, Martin has now heard from Kent State, Miami (OH), Youngstown State, Marshall, Pepperdine, Duquesne, Eastern Kentucky, West Virginia, San Diego, Stetson, Loyola (Chicago), Ohio, and Akron, among other schools. He is a member of the class of 2027.

As always, if there are any players with current collegiate interest in the area that are missing from the board, please reach out to @michalowskicbb on Twitter. The goal of this board is to provide exposure for players in the area and to continue to grow the hoops scene in Western PA.
PSN reported that Martin received interest from the Buckeyes staff in early December.
