Tigers commit Asa Martin.

Auburn 4-star running back commit Asa Martin had a huge senior season and he has been rewarded for his play.

After rushing for more than 2,000 yards for Decatur (Ala.) Austin, Martin has been named Gatorade Player of the Year in the state of Alabama.

In his final high school game, a 51-50 overtime loss to Pinson Valley in the Class 6A state quarterfinals in late November, Martin rushed for 267 yards and three touchdowns (4, 59, 67 yards).

He finished the season with 2,228 rushing yards with 33 touchdowns. He also was a big part of the Austin passing game -- and played cornerback when called upon.

An early enrollee, Martin will sign with Auburn on Dec. 20.

This week he will be in Hattiesburg, Miss., to compete in the annual Alabama-Mississippi All-Star Game.
