All-CCIW writeup: Martinez, a sophomore, steadily made a name for himself this season as a guy with a nose for ball hovering around the top-10 in solo and total tackles across the whole conference. Replacing All-CCIW backers like Jaydin Miller and Egan Bender from a season ago is no small feat, and Martinez is on his way to being put in the same conversation as those guys. This season he had 70 total tackles, good for 8th in the conference and 41 solo tackles, good for 10th. He finished with 3.5 tackles for loss, 2 pass break ups, a quarterback hurry, and one fumble recovery. Appeared in 5 games where he totaled 10 total tackles (7 solo, 3 assisted) and 2 tackles for loss ... Season high four tackles against Millikin (Sept. 21) where he was also in on a pair of tackles for loss ... Three tackles at Augustana (Oct. 5).
