USF Football Player Killed In Horrific Car Crash

USF football player Teigan Martin passed away in a tragic crash in Minnesota.

The USF TE died in an early Monday morning single-vehicle crash in Hollywood Township, Minnesota, according to the Carver County Sheriff's Office.

A black 2013 BMW M5 had crashed in the ditch, and police officers identified Martin after making contact at the scene.

The authorities determined that the USF player was traveling "at a high rate of speed, crossed over the westbound lane of traffic, entered the road ditch and rolled the vehicle."

At the time of the release from the sheriff's office, it was not determined whether alcohol was involved, but "speed may have been a factor." He was 20-years-old at the time of his death.

Martin was a two-star prospect out of Mayer, Minnesota in the 2022 class and initially chose Liberty over offers from Iowa State, North Dakota State and South Dakota State. He later transferred to USF, but didn't see action in his first season with the Bulls. Our thoughts and prayers are with his family at this time, and make sure to check back to OutKick for any updates we might have.
