Alabama added another commitment on Saturday in Troy punter transfer Jack Martin. The Dothan (Ala.) Northview native announced his decision on his Twitter account Saturday morning.

Coming out of the high school ranks Martin was rated the No. 16 kicker in the country, per the industry-generated 247Sports Composite Rankings.

Martin, who is from Dothan, entered the NCAA transfer portal last month. He was a first-team All-Sun Belt selection as a sophomore in 2020 after averaging 46.1 yards per punt. The Northview High School product also handled kickoffs for the Trojans the past two seasons.

Yeah, in the 4th quarter. So most LSU fans will miss it.

He'll be coming is as a preferred walk-on, but has agreed to be a representative for the Saban-Mercedes Mgt. Group for endorsement purposes.

I will say one thing: this is a low-key proof on how great the one-time transfer rule will be for power programs. Alabama has not been solid at punter since JK Scott left. Now they’re getting a 38 yards/punt to 46.1 yards/punt improvement in the field position game that would’ve never been possible before.

Punting ain’t sexy but JK Scott helped us a ton as a defensive tool to deny great field position consistently when the offense was stalling.

I haven't been in the defensive meetings with the new staff. But, it's starting to leak that attempting to actually stop the other offense may be part of the philosophy in 2021.

Special teams is such a huge underrated advantage for you guys.

I feel like a person could kick or long snap on the 2nd team for 4 years for Bama, and still get a shot at the NFL if Nick speaks up.

And, apparently, multiple Jack Martins available to the team for punting duties.

Saban killing this new transfer rule. Already cherry-picked a starting WR from Ohio State, one of the top ILB in the nation from Tennessee and one of the top 5 punters in CFB. Alot of folks are going to live to regret this new rule.
