Rutgers-Camden Athletics

A transfer from Atlantic Cape Community College, Julian Martin gave the Rutgers-Camden men’s basketball program a huge spark with his exciting play-making abilities as a point guard during the 2014-15 season. A quick and solid ball-handler who can dish off pin-point passes, slip between defenders to penetrate to the basket, and frustrate opponents with his quick hands to record numerous steals, Martin’s contributions helped the Scarlet Raptors post their best record (14-12) since the 2001-02 campaign.
 
Martin, who returns to the Raptors after missing the entire 2015-16 season, led Rutgers-Camden to a berth in the 2014-15 ECAC tournament, the first post-season competition for the program in its NCAA history. He will serve as the team’s captain.
 
In 73 collegiate games, between Rutgers-Camden and Atlantic Cape Community College, he owns 728 points for a 9.97 scoring average. He also has 229 assists and 161 steals in his combined collegiate career.
