Biography

At Cornell
Martinez earned his first varsity letter in 2011 as a member of the special teams, seeing action in a total of five contests. He has moved from offense to defense and back again, and his speed, strength and athleticism could allow him to move into the tailback rotation in 2012. He has played wide receiver and corner during his career, and has also excelled on special teams on coverage and as a kickoff returner. He was a standout performer on the junior varsity as a freshman corner.

At Belen Jesuit
Martinez was a three-year letter winner at Belen Jesuit HS as a running back/wide receiver, earning All-Dade County football honors. As a senior, Martinez rushed for 500 yards and a pair of touchdowns, averaging 10.0 yards per carry, while hauling in 10 passes for 150 yards and two more scores. He was invited to participate in the North vs. South Senior All-Star game. Martinez served as team captain of the football and track and field squads, and earned the top rating of any athlete at the 2008 NIKE SPARQ training camp in Miami.
