Martinez: There were so many factors honestly. Just really getting to know Coach Frost and the type of man he is. I wanted to play for him. I really believe in his message and his coaching staff and I feel like we can accomplish great things. And along with that, Nebraska is a great University. On my official visit, I love the people, the school, and everything lined up perfectly for me, as far as opportunity and other things, I really feel like it was the best decision for me.

Carriker: And what was it about Coach Frost because I heard there was a bond formed there. What was it about him that made you want to play for him so much? Was it the fact that he played as a college quarterback at such a high level? Was there some sort of story you could share with us? What created that bond between the two of you?

Martinez: Well yeah, I think that was definitely part of it. You know, he has the experience of being at Nebraska, and that offers stability, he’s not going to want to move on from Nebraska, he’s an alumni there, he’s won a national championship, and he really cares about the program. But really when I was on my official visit, he was just so down to earth. You know, I’ve gone to places all over the country, and I could tell you from the head coaching perspective, nobody was like Coach Frost. He didn’t act like he was big time or he was trying to give off this big persona or whatnot. He was just who he was and he wasn’t going to act like anything other than that. He wasn’t trying to be all dressed up or all fancy. He was real down to earth. He could have a real conversation with my dad and I and he wasn’t condescending or anything like that. I think it spoke volumes to the type of person he is.
