Opposing Players We're Dreading: Adrian Martinez

There's going to be some great quarterback play in the Big Ten this year.

Between Trace McSorley (Penn State), Nathan Stanley (Iowa), Kasim Hill (Maryland) and Shea Patterson (Michigan), there will be plenty of talent at the most important position on the field.

A big part of that will be the play of Adrian Martinez of Nebraska as well. One of the top quarterback prospects in the country from the class of 2018, the Fresno, California native will be central to the rebuild of Nebraska into national players. Head coach Scott Frost has a history of molding quarterbacks who can beat you with their feet as well as their arms, such as Marcus Mariota.
