STRENGTHS

 Drive Blocking Skills
 Power And Strength
AREAS FOR IMPROVEMENT
 Pass Protection
 Toughness
A pure run-blocker, does a great job getting off the line and driving his defender back. Tough and nasty and a weight-room fanatic. Needs to improve in pass pro, but excels in run blocking.


Biography:
First Team All-State 4A by the Salt Lake Tribune and Deseret News as a junior.

Martinez benches 345 pounds, squats 445 and has a 27-inch vertical jump.

Martinez says he wants to major in journalism. He reports a 3.0 core GPA and an 18 ACT.

Martinez: "I can get downfield fast. I hustle hard, but I want to improve my agility and footwork. I'm doing a lot of speed training and plyometrics trying to improve my lateral quickness and side-to-side movement."
