Martin will be joined by teammate on the WVU defense Garnett Hollis, who accepted his opportunity last week.

In addition to Martin and Hollis, offensive lineman Wyatt Milum and long snapper Austin Brinkman will be participating in the Senior Bowl, but several other Mountaineers have been invited to take part in the Hula Bowl.
