RHS alum Martin earns D-III football honor

UW-Whitewater tight end Drake Martin, a Rhinelander High School alum, earned recognition from D3football.com this week for his performance in the eighth-ranked Warhawks’ 56-28 win over No. 4 Saint John’s University (Minn.) Sept. 9.

Martin was honored by the website as the top-performing tight end across the NCAA Division-III ranks for the weekend. He caught three passes for 93 yards, including a 45-yard touchdown in the second half of the contest. 

Through two games, Martin has recorded eight catches and is UW-Whitewater’s second-leading receiver with 123 yards.

The Warhawks (2-0) travel to Belton, Texas this Saturday to face the University of Mary Hardin-Baylor.
