FCS Football Central Names Martin Second Team All-American

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. – Samford senior linebacker Noah Martin was named a second team All-American by FCS Football Central on Monday morning.

Martin, a consensus first team All-Southern Conference defender, led the SoCon with 109 and became the first Bulldog defender to eclipse 100 tackles since John Staton had 115 in 2019. Martin's 107 tackles were good enough to rank him 13th nationally.

To close out his Bulldog career, Martin tallied 19 tackles in a losing effort at Mercer. The 19 tackles were the most by any SoCon defender during the 2023 season and the most by a Bulldog since 2019. On senior day, Martin recorded 11 more tackles in the upset victory over UT Martin to reach triple-digit stops for the season.
