DOTHAN, Ala. – Former Troy punter Jack Martin announced Saturday he is transferring to Alabama.
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.
Alabama had a punter also named Jack Martin on its roster the past two seasons who did not play. That Martin, who is from Mobile and played at McGill-Toolen Catholic High School, is no longer listed on the roster.
Dothan’s Martin becomes the fourth punter on Alabama’s 2021 roster. Senior Charlie Scott, the younger brother of former Alabama punter JK Scott, handled punting duties most of last season after transferring from Air Force.
Oak Mountain sophomore Sam Johnson and Prattville junior Ty Perine are the Tide’s other two punters.
