“It was brought to my attention that Austin (Franklin) had declared for the NFL Draft, after doing some research I found this to be true,” Martin said. “Austin has been a very dynamic and explosive player for this team over the past three seasons and we wish him all the best in the upcoming draft and in the future.”
NMSU WR Austin Franklin, a junior, will enter the '14 draft and has signed w/an agent. He's training at @AP_Combine in San Diego.
