Carlton Martial has more hands-on experience with the Reese’s Senior Bowl than his Troy teammate Jake Andrews does, but playing in the game is the culmination of a lifelong dream
Martial grew up in Mobile, the stereotypical kid who would attend practices and the game each year hoping to see his heroes perform up close and maybe get an autograph or two. He leaves Troy as the all-time leading tackler in FBS history, and will be on the field Saturday, Feb. 4 for the 2023 Senior Bowl at Hancock Whitney Stadium.
People are also reading… “I always thought when I would watch the Senior Bowl ‘I want that to be me.’ My father always said ‘just give it your all this game and just let the cards play.’” “It’s really important to me, something I’ve always really wanted to do,” Andrews said. “I’ve always been interested in a game that’s got a lot of tradition and has been around for a long time. … I grew up watching it, especially once they started televising it.
Generously listed at 5-foot-9 on a 210-pound frame, Martial will have to make an even bigger leap if he’s going to get a shot at pro football. There are few linebackers in the history of the NFL who have held down a roster spot at his size. Andrews blossomed when moved into the middle of the Troy line, so much so that he chose to enter the NFL Draft despite having another year of eligibility remaining. He’s hoping that the versatility he displayed in his college career will make him more marketable at the next level.
