Quinton Martin Sr., father of Penn State running back Quinton Martin Jr., posted an apology to Nittany Lions quarterback Rocco Becht on X after previously criticizing the sophomore’s play in a now‑deleted message. In the original post, Martin wrote that Becht “is just not good,” citing arm strength, height and football IQ, and noted his son had only two carries the day before.
Becht has struggled in Big Ten play, throwing five interceptions to three touchdowns while completing 59.6% for 913 yards. The Nittany Lions began the season 3‑0 in non‑conference games but are 0‑4 in conference action, averaging 18.5 points per game, the third‑lowest mark in the league. Coach Matt Campbell said the team has “complete faith” in Becht and will not change the starter.
