The tragic loss of South Florida tight end Teigan Martin has left the football community in deep mourning. At the age of 20, Martin lost his life in a car crash in Minnesota. The Carver County Sheriff’s Office reported that Martin’s 2013 Black BMW M5 crashed into a ditch on a county road, and despite wearing his seatbelt, he did not survive the crash.
The University of South Florida football program extended their deepest sympathies to Martin’s family and friends during this difficult time. USF coach Alex Golesh expressed profound sorrow over the loss of his teammate, noting that his passing has left a significant impact on the football community and beyond.
Before joining USF in 2023, Martin transferred from Liberty but did not play during the previous season. He had spent one year with the Flames without seeing any game time in 2022. Despite not playing during his time at USF, Martin was considered a talented athlete and had showcased his potential as a two-star prospect in the class of 2022 by Rivals.
Teigan Martin originally hailed from Mayer, Minnesota, where he played football at Mayer Lutheran High School. During his senior year in 2021, he helped secure the Minnesota Class 1A football title. His passing has left a lasting impact on those who knew him and has reminded us all to cherish every moment we have with our loved ones.
The investigation into Martin’s accident is ongoing, and more details will be released as they become available. In the meantime, we send our thoughts and prayers to Teigan’s family and friends during this difficult time.
Martin’s death was a tragic accident that shook many people who knew him. His passing served as a reminder to always drive responsibly and never take risks behind the wheel.
The Bulls had a successful 2023 season, going 7-6 and winning the Boca Raton Bowl after a challenging 1-11 season in 2022. However, none of their success could have been achieved without Teigan’s contributions to their team.
As we mourn Teigan’s loss, we must also remember to honor his memory by driving safely and never forgetting how precious life truly is.
