Wright Martin, a three‑star tight end prospect out of Christ Presbyterian Academy in Nashville, has officially received a scholarship offer from Clemson University. Ranked No. 18 nationally among tight ends by the 247Sports Composite, Martin’s recruitment has been closely watched after a standout sophomore season that saw him catch 23 passes for 209 yards.
A Family Legacy Meets a New Opportunity
The offer, extended on July 17, marks the third SEC program to court the 6‑foot‑3, 245‑pound athlete, joining Georgia and Arkansas. Martin’s father, Ingle Martin, is a former NFL tight end who played for the Green Bay Packers and the Tennessee Titans, and now serves as a coach at Christ Presbyterian Academy. His mother, Jennifer Martin, was a standout softball player at Alabama, while his grandfather, Mike Wright, earned a football and baseball letter at Vanderbilt before being drafted by the Cincinnati Bengals in the 1980 NFL Draft.
Beyond football, Martin helped the CPA baseball team capture the TSSAA Division II‑AA state title in May, showcasing his athletic versatility. He has also been recognized as one of the top receivers in the Nashville area for the 2026 season, a testament to his rapid development on the gridiron.
During a recent visit to Clemson, Martin toured the campus, attended a practice session, and expressed enthusiasm for the program’s culture and coaching staff. “The atmosphere was electric,” he said, noting that the university’s academic reputation and family‑like environment resonated with him.
With a family lineage steeped in professional sports, Martin’s decision will be watched closely by recruit analysts. His blend of size, receiving skill, and multi‑sport background makes him a unique prospect, and his upcoming senior season is expected to further sharpen his appeal to top programs.
