About Martinez Updated Aug 7, 2026

High-Volume, Field-Commandeering LB with Big-Tackle Value

Martinez is a **rangy, productive linebacker** who led New Mexico State in 2024 with **96 total tackles** and added **2.5 tackles for loss, 1 sack, and 1 pass breakup**, showing he can diagnose quickly and finish plays in space.[1][7][11] The bigger context: he was a first-team all-conference type at NMSU, but his 2025 season was interrupted by injury, so the key question is whether he returns at full speed and durability.[11][15][18] If you want a linebacker who brings instincts, range, and volume production more than pure splash-play chaos, he’s a strong fit.[1][11]
