TEXAS - As we wait for the high school season to get underway, PBR Texas is going to be doing Q&A's with some of the top players in the State. We will be discussing their recruiting process and their upcoming High School Season. In our 3rd Q&A, we sit down with 2023 Jerson Martin. MArtin is a Future Game alum and recent Wichita State Commit.

OUR Q&A

PBR: What were your expectations about the recruiting process? What were you looking for out of a college program to continue your baseball career at?
