Martin earns MLL weekly award
Martin was the top rookie this week as he helped lead the way for the Outlaws in a come-from behind 15-11 win over the Chicago Machine. Martin made his Outlaws debut and helped lead the come-back as he finished the night with a hat trick and an assist. Martin was making his debut as a fill in for the lauded Denver attack while top scorers Drew Westervelt and Brendan Mundorf were both over in England playing for Team USA.
“Martin is a great sport, a great kid. I just wanted to give him a shot,” said Denver head coach Brian Reese. “I thought he’s a pretty talented guy. He’s a great guy to have on the team, he pushes everyone else. I think he can play in this league.”
Martin took the road less traveled to MLL as he never played at a top Division I school like most players; instead he played at the club level for Chapman University in the Men’s Collegiate Lacrosse Association (MCLA). Martin is the only MCLA field player to ever receive playing time in MLL history. He was extremely successful at Chapman, one of the top club teams in the nation, as he helped lead the team to back to back national championship appearances. Perhaps better known as his YouTube sensation, Con Bro Chill, Martin was drafted in the seventh round by the Outlaws.
