De La Salle’s PJ Martin named Greater New Orleans QB Club Prep Player of Week

De La Salle running back PJ Martin has been selected as the R&L Carriers New Orleans Bowl Prep Player of the Week for the metro New Orleans area for week two for the Greater New Orleans Quarterback Club, Crescent City Sports, NASH ICON 106.1 FM and WGNO/WNOL Friday Night Football.

A senior, Martin had 28 carries for 292 yards and two touchdowns and caught one pass for 12 yards as the Cavaliers rallied from a 22-0 halftime deficit to overcome Holy Cross, 28-22.

Martin is coached by Graham Jarrott.

“God-willing and if he stays healthy, he will finish with disgusting numbers,” Jarrott said. “He is close to 500 yards rushing (44 carries for 469 yards and five touchdowns) in just two games. He is awesome. His leadership in the onslaught of the first half debacle was so important. He knew we could win.”

Martin will be honored at the year-end meeting of the Greater New Orleans Quarterback Club on Tuesday, December 13 at The Cannery in New Orleans.
