Jartavius Martin drafted in second round by Commanders

Jartavius Martin is the second Illini to hear his name called in Kansas City.

Joining Devon Witherspoon and soon Sydney Brown, Quan has proved to the football world that Illinois is a DBU in the making.

The S was taken by the Washington Commanders with the 47th overall pick in the second round of the 2023 NFL draft.

Martin played five seasons in Champaign. Playing in 50 career college games, he had his best year with the Illini in 2022.

In his senior campaign, Quan was voted All-Big Ten second team by the media and third team by the coaches.
