College career

After his first two seasons as a reserve, Martin emerged as a starter in 2013, starting on the offensive line with his brother, Zack.[3] Martin started 11 games, before sustaining a season-ending knee injury against BYU.[4] Martin returned to form in 2014, and was a named a team captain. Martin started the first three games at center, before a injury to his snapping hand resulted in his move to offensive guard, where he started the remaining 10 games of the season.[5] As a redshirt senior in 2015, Nick started all 13 games for the Irish, helping establish a running game that rushed for 207.6 yards per game, the highest since 1998.[6]
