Martin has made an instant impact since arriving in Tempe. He was named the Pac-12 Sixth Man of the Year during his freshman season and earned All-Pac-12 second-team honors the following year.
The 6-foot guard thrived in a leadership role in 2019-20, averaging 19.1 points, 4.1 assists, and 3.1 boards. He was named to the All-Pac-12 first team.
"I'm blessed to have the opportunity to coach Remy Martin for one more season," Sun Devils head coach Bobby Hurley said in a statement. "Remy will be one of the best players in college basketball this year and will be on a mission to lead Arizona State basketball in its pursuit of championships."
Second-leading scorer Alonzo Verge announced in July his withdrawal from the NBA draft.
Martin's and Verge's return make Arizona State a bona fide Pac-12 contender. The Sun Devils have a solid incoming recruiting class highlighted by five-star commit Josh Christopher.
