A compact space-eater on the inside, Martinez is a true nose guard prospect as a sophomore. While he’s often asked to tie up interior blockers to allow room for West Iredell’s talented linebackers to work, he’s flashed the ability to blow up plays before they really even start. His strength and pad level are major pluses, and with time, he could turn into a really well-rounded interior defender.
