Marshall University’s football program has made another major splash in its recruiting efforts, landing another gifted talent, the son of former Thundering Herd star. The highly anticipated commitment marks a significant addition to the Herd’s already impressive 2024 recruiting class.
A standout at wide receiver in high school, brings both exceptional athleticism and a deep football pedigree to Huntington. His father, Tim Martin, was former Thundering Herd star. Tim Martin’s expertise and football IQ have already influenced his child development as a player, making him a highly coveted recruit.
“Having him commit to our program is an incredible moment for Marshall football,” said Marshall head coach Tony Gibson. “His talent on the field speaks for itself, and the fact that he comes from such a legendary football family only adds to his potential. We’re excited to see what he can do for the Herd.”
Ferguson’s skillset includes a mix of speed, hands, and the ability to read defenses — attributes that align closely with his father’s style of play. Standing at 6’3″ with a solid frame and impressive route-running ability, Ferguson is poised to make an immediate impact on Marshall’s offense.
This marks the second time in a week that Marshall has secured a commitment from the son of a Hall of Famer. Earlier this week, the Herd added another promising talent, the son of a Pro Football Hall of Fame legend, further solidifying their status as a growing force in college football recruiting.
For Marshall fans, the signing of Evan Ferguson adds excitement and optimism to an already promising recruiting class. The commitment of another Hall of Famer’s son underscores the program’s appeal to elite talent and signals that the Herd are serious about building a national contender.
As the 2024 season approaches, all eyes will be on Ferguson as he joins a deep, talented roster, ready to carry on his father’s legacy while carving out his own path in the world of college football.
