Former FAU standout Alijah Martin signs with Florida over Alabama, Arkansas, Michigan and others
GAINESVILLE, Fla. (AP) — Florida Atlantic standout Alijah Martin, who helped propel the Owls to the Final Four in 2023, is moving about 300 miles north to play at Florida.
The 6-foot-2 guard formally signed with the Gators on Monday and is expected to become an immediate starter for coach Todd Golden in Gainesville. He will replace Zyon Pullin, a first team, all-Southeastern Conference point guard who averaged 15.5 points, 4.9 assists and 3.9 rebounds after transferring from UC Riverside.
Martin, a graduate transfer, has one year of eligibility remaining. He chose Florida over Alabama, Arkansas, Michigan, Mississippi and USC.
“He’s been incredibly consistent as both a scorer and defender and will add even more explosiveness to our group,” Golden said. “He will step onto our campus as a college graduate and will provide experience and leadership for the program.”
