Martin starred for the Volunteers at QB from 1996-99, while Kiffin spent one year (2009) as Tennessee’s head coach before moving on to USC. During his three-plus seasons coaching the Trojans, Kiffin hired the elder Martin for his staff. Martin now serves as USC’s offensive coordinator under coach Clay Helton.
As for Kaden, he is a seventh grader at Adams Middle School in Redondo Beach, Calif. Like his dad, he plays QB – but also pitches in baseball.
"I'm just extremely proud and appreciative for the opportunity for Kaden," Tee Martin told AL.com. "He and coach Kiffin have always had a great relationship. I'm thankful."
