and UNLV for giving him a chance.— Joe Arrigo Martell signed with Ohio State in 2017 as the No. 2 dual-threat quarterback in the 2017 recruiting class. He was highly recruited and viewed as one of the most accomplished high school players in history, finishing his high school career with a perfect 43-0 record as a starter while playing one of the most rigorous national schedules in the country. His senior season, Martell accounted for 62 total touchdowns and just one interception.
Shortly after the season, Martell entered the NCAA transfer portal following Georgia transfer quarterback Justin Fields' arrival at Ohio State. The move came despite Martell claiming that he would not transfer and that he had"no doubt" that he'd win the job over Fields. Following his stint at Miami, Martell transferred to UNLV ahead of the 2021 season where he appeared in two games, going 2-for-6 through the air for 27 yards and adding two total yards on the ground in five attempts.
How do you retire when you never started? I guess I could also say I retired from football in 95’…. Lol
Congratulations Best of Luck in the future 💖😘
Can’t retire if you never played.
Browns found your guy
Quitter
Probably because he left the only place that could have developed him
?
* How can one retire, when they never even had a career ☝🏾

Nothing but respect but he should’ve stayed with the Buckeyes 🤷♂️
A swing and a miss
He transferred 3 times?
Is it called retiring if u never make it to the league
I wish him well. He only ever hurt himself. Quite a fall from being a 5-star recruit.
Why didn’t he just switch to Wide Receiver
Can you really call it retiring?
Should've stayed in Columbus... grass ain't greener for everyone.
I remember Ohio at fans saying he’d be a heisman winner.
Umm career?
Excited to see him at Enterprise
I watched Tate play at Bishop Gorman in Vegas. Undoubtedly talented, but he was a head case too. That never changed when he got to OSU. Too bad. Wish him well in whatever path he chooses next.
Good Luck to you.
Legend.
Another Tim Beck bust.
Somehow he just lost his mojo when he left Ohio State. Should have told his dad to shut up and stayed and rode it out. He would have got some mop up time and scored a few more touchdowns and won a hell of a lot more games.
Lol
Wait who 🤔
I remember thinking this guy is really special when he did play for the buckeyes… really surprised he didn’t start anywhere else no one gave him a chance
Five seasons and 12 pass attempts.
The GOAT
Finally realized he was a DIII talent
Unfortunately justin fields beat him out for the job. He woulda been pretty okay at this football thing look at the rutgers game lol
I just got this Twitter handle….
rwilley112 Ole Tathan still swinging for the fences…. Let’s Go dude!
Best of luck to Tate. I had high hopes for him as a Buckeye.
Tathan…
Retiring? Was he under contract, or playing professionally? That's like saying someone is retiring from drinking. Tate Martell quit football.
Really thought Tate should have transferred back west when he left Columbus.
I know he gets a lot of hate but I was genuinely rooting for him and kinda sad it just ended this way. Best of luck to him.
Ya his rents are rich why play football makes no sense honestly
He has more career college starts than everyone who has commented on here combined. Good luck in your future Tate.
Waste of a good talent, a darn shame
That’s because he can now draw a pension.
Damn 5 years, under 300 yards. Still 300 more yards than me.
Wishing him well.
Dang it. Hope he finds something else to be pationate about
Tate’s a good man but whenever I hear 4 yrs of college , I laugh thinking about John “Bluto” Blutarsky in Animal House : “Christ. Seven Years Of College Down The Drain.”
Wish him well
Ol' tater tot
Who would have thought that Joe Bauserman would have more career starts than Martell…
Hard to call it a career when he didn’t have a career…
Good luck in your future endeavors..
Absolute bust. LOL.
Taint Martel
I still don’t understand how he went from 2 prospect to complete bust once left OSU.
Good luck to him!
Nightowwl2 no way!!!.... what a loss
Quinn Ewers next
Who?
Talk about swinging and kissing. Karma a mutha, I swear. Best of luck in life 💯
When did he play College Football?
Idk why ppl hate on this man. I dislike Quinn Ewers more for what he did then Tate.. At least Tate stayed a couple years and actually scored a Touchdown at OSU. Best of luck Tate.
Ahh, Tathan.
What a cluster fuck this whole thing was
Safe to say he had a wild career lol
