ADA — Ohio Northern junior All-American Brock Martin (Attica/Seneca East) was named First Team Academic All-America in football by the College Sports Information Directors of America.

Martin was named Second Team All-America as an all-purpose player in 2019. He has also earned All-Region honors and is a two-time All-Ohio Athletic Conference honoree.

A construction management major, he has also earned Academic All-OAC honors twice in his career and was named First Team Academic All-District 7 in June.

Martin joins Wes Hostetler (2005) and Andy Roecker (1997) as the only ONU football players to earn both All-America and Academic All-America honors.

He has started all 24 games in his time at Ohio Northern and has been featured as a running back, receiver, full back and tight end and as a kickoff returner in his career.

Martin ranks 23rd all-time in ONU history with 1,234 career rushing yards in 14 games as a starter in the backfield.

He has also caught 13 passes for 135 yards, returned 29 kickoffs for 579 yards and has 1,948 all-purpose yards in his career.

This season, Martin was third in the OAC with 317 rushing yards and an average of 79.3 rushing yards per game.

The Polar Bears posted a 3-1 record and finished second in the Ohio Athletic Conference West Division with a 3-1 record in the pandemic-shortened 2020 season this spring.
