BIOGRAPHY

Nick Martin was born on April 29th, 1993, in Indianapolis, Indiana, and currently plays center for the Houston Texans in the NFL. Martin attended Bishop Chatard High School and played college football at the University of Notre Dame.

During high school, as a senior, Martin helped lead Bishop Chatard to the 2010 Indiana Class 3A state title. He was named a first-team Indiana all-state pick on the Associated Press Class 3A team as an offensive lineman. Considered a three-star recruit by Rivals.com, he was rated as the 68th-best offensive tackle prospect of his class.

Martin played for the University of Notre Dame football team from 2011 to 2014. After his first two seasons as a reserve, Martin emerged as a starter in 2013, starting on the offensive line with his brother, Zack. Martin started 11 games. Martin returned to form in 2014 and was named a team captain. Martin started the first three games at center before an injury to his snapping hand resulted in his move to offensive guard, where he started the remaining 10 games of the season. As a redshirt senior in 2015, Martin started all 13 games for the Irish, helping establish a running game that rushed for 207.6 yards per game, the highest since 1998.

The Houston Texans selected Martin in the second round (50th overall) of the 2016 NFL Draft. On May 13, 2016, the Texans signed Martin to a four-year contract, and on September 10, 2019, Martin signed a three-year.
