Fritz can't say who, but I haven't tracked down anyone else that does know yet.

Just doing a board search, I think it might be Davontavean Martin from Ellender High, if so, he's a great under the radar prospect that plays dual sports in football and basketball.

2* rating, 6'4 at 164 lbs, plays WR and CB and plays 2/3 spot in Bball. Here's his HUDL:

That's who someone on the other board mentioned as well.

That's great news it's Mr. Martin. Welcome and Roll Wave! Local-ish 2* recruit that's flying under the radar and a dual sport athlete.

Martin looks like he has a good frame for the WR position, and if he spends some time in the weight room he could be a plus player for us down the line. He also needs some work on his fundamentals (route running, ball security, high-pointing the ball), but that is not uncommon for someone coming out of high school at all. Probably a redshirt, I'd think. But someone who can definitely develop and be a player here at WR.

I thought he looked pretty good in the short clip from the camp. Obviously needs weight room work.

Here's an interesting side question. Can he redshirt as a freshman in football, yet play his freshman year in basketball. I guess my question is, do his four years of eligibility have to be the same 4 in both sports?

No. Players can and do overlap all the time in multiple sports. There is a general rule that once you start college you need to complete your eligibility within five calendar years whether you play or not. It's ok to be a 26 year old junior if you started at age 24 (like some football players have done who signed baseball contracts out of high school.) It's not ok to be a 26 year old junior if you started college at 18.

Didn't Trevor Smith play football in 2014 but was ineligible in baseball that year?

There are military and religious exceptions (think BYU missionary rotations) and other "specials" that the NCAA could grant so this is only a general rule.

Let me give a more stark example. You couldn't play football only for four years from 18 to 22 then start basketball only and play that until 26. That's what the above rule is designed to stop not where folks like Tanner Lee may get an extra year for an injury redshirt in addition to a regular redshirt year.

Yes Trevor Simms played football in 2014 but had to sit out for baseball.
