Martinez is a classic pocket quarterback. He has good mechanics and footwork and delivers a good football to his receivers. He does an excellent job of reading the defense and then throwing a timely ball. He is also a good athlete who can run for first downs. He is good at designed quarterback run plays, or when the plays break down, he runs for big plays. Martinez is a good prospect who is in line for a huge Senior year.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:html --> <blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Junior year highlights/stats <a href="https://twitter.com/ExeterTwpFB?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@ExeterTwpFB</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/EPAFootball?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@EPAFootball</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/BradMaendler?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@BradMaendler</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/chadshenne?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@chadshenne</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/PRZPAvic?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@PRZPAvic</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/footballcoach79?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@footballcoach79</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/SpotlightBerks?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@SpotlightBerks</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/JGMediaUS?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@JGMediaUS</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/iamCoachAbe?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@iamCoachAbe</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/jcboice?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@jcboice</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/qbslack12?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@qbslack12</a> <br>• 12-2 <br>• 65% Comp <br>•1100 yds<br>•16 TDs, 2 INTs <br>•<a href="https://t.co/9SK95NF4KE">https://t.co/9SK95NF4KE</a></p>&mdash; [player_tooltip player_id='402462' first='Riley' last='Martinez'] 2026 QB (@rileymartinez26) <a href="https://twitter.com/rileymartinez26/status/1860495468364489071?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">November 24, 2024</a></blockquote> <!-- /wp:html --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["855324"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-675788c4c0208"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='855324' first='Najee' last='Still'] impressed me with how much better he got as the season went on. He has always had the tools to be a successful quarterback, but this season he seemed to settle down in the pocket and throw a good ball. He has one of the strongest arms and he does a great job throwing the ball deep. His accuracy improved as the season went on. He also did a good job reading the defense and delivering a football. Still had an improved Junior year, and I expect he will be in line for a monster Senior season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:html --> <blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Throw it up ⁦⁦<a href="https://twitter.com/najstill?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@najstill</a>⁩ 🎯 <a href="https://t.co/MweF7wEmnH">pic.twitter.com/MweF7wEmnH</a></p>&mdash; [player_tooltip player_id='386132' first='Wanieq' last='Scott'] (@Official_Nieq) <a href="https://twitter.com/Official_Nieq/status/1857192485245624365?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">November 14, 2024</a></blockquote> <!-- /wp:html --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1155802"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-675788c4c0289"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='1155802' first='Brooklyn' last='Nace'] has one of the smoothest deliveries of football from the quarterback position.

He is like a machine in the pocket the way he processes a defense and then delivers a good football. His mechanics are excellent, and he constantly throws a good ball into tight windows.

He processes the defensive looks quickly and knows exactly where he wants to go with the football. He throws one of the best deepest balls you ever see, as he puts the perfect amount of touch on the ball.
