Jeremiah Martin

Martin was born on June 19, 1996 in Memphis. He led Mitchell High School to back-to-back state championships in his junior and senior seasons, taking home tournament MVP honors in the latter. In all four years at Mitchell, Martin took the team to the state tournament. He was also named Tennessee Mr. Basketball following his senior year. It was an impressive prep career, with Martin recording over 1,000 points, 500 rebounds and 500 assists. Martin was originally set to attend school at Louisiana Tech, but de-committed and instead elected to play for his home-town school of Memphis. Martin appeared in 124 games (99 starts) over a four-year career with the Memphis Tigers. He was a full-time starter and double-digit scorer in each of his last three seasons, earning first-team All-AAC honors in his last two. In his senior year, Martin led the American conference in total points (708), bringing his career scoring total up to 1,625 points -- good for sixth all-time in the Conference. Martin was also a capable distributor, finishing top-6 in the American Conference in assists during each of his last three seasons with the program. The Tigers did not qualify for the NCAA Tournament during Martin's time with the program, but he led them to the second round of the NIT in his senior year. He finished his collegiate career as the 10th all-time leading scorer in program history. Martin went undrafted in the 2019 NBA Draft, but he ended signing with the Miami Heat for that year's NBA Summer League.
