Physical, high-motor linebacker whose football upside was shaped by toughness and versatility
Martarano was a rugged Boise State linebacker known for his size, physicality, and ability to play with a fullback’s edge, but his college football trajectory was interrupted by injury and his decision to pursue pro baseball. In 2016, he appeared in eight games, started two, and posted 25 tackles with a forced fumble before a season-ending injury. He is the kind of player who stands out for effort, contact tolerance, and a blue-collar mentality more than flashy stat lines.
