Tate Martell is a former American football player known for his stint at the UNLV Rebels. The 23-year-old played QB at Ohio State and the University of Miami. However, his football career ended rather too soon; Tate retired on January 18, 2022.
Known for playing Quarterback at Ohio State, Tate Martell’s football career was promising; he was rated the country’s no. 2 dual-threat QB when he joined Ohio back in 2017. 2018 was proved a little harsh for the 23-year-old as he saw limited action that season. However, it is surprising he still holds the record for highest completion percentage in a game after completing 10-of-1o passes against Rutgers.
Tate Martell left Ohio State and tried his luck at Miami but could never break through a starter and left the program after two seasons. Then 23-year-old tried his luck back at his home school, but he wasn’t as impressive as he used to be back in the days. It seems he is out of luck, not in just football but in love, too. What happened to his love life? Let’s find out.

“Hi there, I appreciate you asking me directly but I am not going to bring my personal life into social media, there’s no need for that. The only thing I will say is that I have never told [Tate Martell] to quit football or kept him from anyone.”
Well, she could be right; we don’t doubt that. However, the same controversy became the turning point of their relationship, and Kiki Passo decided to leave Martell as it was too much for her to handle, all those online bullying and bashing.
