After watching Jaylen Martin during the USF Elite Camp last August Brian Gregory offered the high academic and highly talented prospect out of Florida High School in Tallahassee.

The three-star wing averaged 15.1 points, 6.7 rebounds, 2.0 assists, 1.3 steals and 1.1 blocks during his sophomore campaign while helping to lead FSUS to a 20-7 record and the class 3A regional quarterfinals.

We caught up to Martin, the No. 128 overall prospect in the class of 2022, after the Showtime Roundup event over the July 4 holiday weekend. Martin played with both the 17U and 16U Showtime Ballers teams in the event and went off for 40 points and 15 rebounds in a Saturday 16U game.

“Well, pretty much everything was working,” Martin said of his double-double. “I had about four or five threes, I had a lot of dunks, a lot of layups, everything was pretty much working for me that game. I also played some good defense.”
