Khobie Martin Looking to "Blossom" in 2026
Indiana sophomore running back Khobie Martin is an under-the-radar name for the 2026 season. Martin was stuck behind Kaelon Black and Roman Hemby last season on the National Championship-winning roster, but still managed to rush 78 times for 505 yards and six touchdowns as a redshirt freshman. Martin topped 100 yards and two touchdowns twice, early in the season in blowout wins over Indiana State and Illinois. Curt Cignetti has always deployed a committee backfield, and Martin is joined by Boston College transfer Turbo Richard this season. Despite that, there is real potential for Martin to break out. An NFL scout stated that "you'll see guys like running back Khobie Martin blossom after he played behind Black and Hemby, who are both in NFL camps."
