NEW: @Quintonanthony_ admits he was “discouraged” by not taking an offensive snap against Temple last week.
He stayed determined, put in what Matt Campbell called “one of his best weeks of practice” and seized his moment vs. Buffalo.

Coming off a career-best game (20 carries, 101 yards) in Pinstripe Bowl, Penn State redshirt freshman RB Quinton Martin says it was an “honor” to step up without Kayton Allen and Nick Singleton.
Martin will “weigh my options” for 2026, has not yet met 1-on-1 with Matt Campbell.
After not receiving a single carry the whole season, Quinton Martin Jr. ran the ball 20 times for 101 yards in the Pinstripe Bowl.
“I didn't think I was going to get 20 carries. My mentality coming into this game was just effort. Play the best I can.”
@JohnOdermatt@WhiteOutFB The only thing he needs is the opportunities, he knows the playbook better than most of the other RBs. Trust me when I say he’s just not getting his # called.
@JohnOdermatt@WhiteOutFB As his dad I can honestly tell you that he is not having ANY problems with the playbook,injuries,etc. The problem is that these coaches are trying to push certain players because of someone unknown to my family. My son Quinton Martin Jr is 100% ready.
Hansen averaged 4.4 yards in both games this season against Marshall and Temple. With longs of 10 & 13 respectively in both games. Those numbers are not going to hack it during B1G play, Campbell has to choose between loyalty and true game changing skill
We need Peoples & Martin
@BuckWhisperer_1@AliceClimbers Could be however I hold the position that you have to allow him to get used to real game speed and contact, can just throw him in when real competition is in front of them,I feel that they have to allow him to get back into mode 🤷🏾♂️
@WhiteOutFB@JTWhite_65 Thank you very much for noticing, I think a lot of us see it but this staff has their “picks “ and it’s not sustainable, my son is ready for the stage
@BuckWhisperer_1@AliceClimbers They tell him to stay patient , it’s very frustrating for our family because all he needs is the opportunities to run the ball and there’ll be results
@RMoredock Won’t give him the opportunity, keeps telling him to be patient .. he’s trying to keep his head up but when you aren’t getting the reps it’s hard to believe that they want his services
@SteffantheGoat@PennStateFball There is no reason, they tell him be patient and that it’s a long season. He is busting his tail every day and they aren’t giving me opportunities. -Q.Sr
