i saw this today! he looks pretty gnarly and it was kinda cool to hear him rocking the husker gear all the time (but then again when your bro is the starting QB its hard not to pimp out whatever school he would be playing for)... saw that Carl is recruiting him which means i guess he has a thing for samoan princessess

He looks nothing like his older brother

He looks nothing like his older brother

With the current state of affairs... I will assume that is a good thing?

I couldn't imagine another Martinez even considering the Huskers.

D-Magic!

Unimpressed with the high tackling. He has good speed in the video but he doesn't look strong enough or explosive. Plus, that was the worst rendition of Back in Black that I have ever heard.

I want him here! There's a lot we can do with that kind of speed!

It sounds like all the skiilled players are tearing it up as noone knows how to defend the delaware T. They all have double digit ypc. Funny how things recycle. Drake sounds like he would be a good fullback to me. Good size with a frame to grow and gets to top speed in a hurry.

I read somewhere that his father and Taylor are very supportive of him coming to Nebraska.
