Knoxville Catholic quarterback Kaden Martin picked up his second offer from Tennessee on Tuesday night, this time to play football.
Martin, the son of former Tennessee quarterback and current receivers coach Tee Martin, already holds an offer from the Vols to play baseball. He announced the football offer on Twitter Tuesday.
Extremely blessed to receive an offer from The University of Tennessee. @Vol_Football #GBO pic.twitter.com/M4bcyYhtXu

Tee also weighed in on the offer.
So proud of you son! Thank you! @CoachJPruitt #GBO #VFL https://t.co/9hq8m5nbIP

Kaden is 2022 dual-threat quarterback, standing in at 6-1, 205 pounds. Alabama, Duke, Kentucky, Ole Miss, West Virginia, USC and Florida Atlantic are Martin’s other offers to this point, still extremely early in the process.
Martin transferred to Knoxville Catholic when his father landed an assistant coaching role at Tennessee, following his stint at USC as the offensive coordinator. He has yet to be rated by any of the recruiting services to this point.
So this sets up an interesting situation for Kaden — do you follow your father’s path and stay at home with Tennessee? Or do your own thing? We’ve seen situations like this go both ways recently.
The good news? Martin has plenty of time to figure that out.
