Nebraska Quarterback Adrian Martinez, Who Visited Ohio State As a Recruit Last Fall, Confident Entering His Return Trip to Columbus

Adrian Martinez could have been Ohio State’s quarterback for the recruiting class of 2018.

Instead, Martinez will be playing against Ohio State when Nebraska comes to Ohio Stadium to face the Buckeyes on Saturday.

As Emory Jones wavered in his commitment to Ohio State fall, the Buckeyes began courting potential replacements for Jones as their quarterback for the class of 2018, and one of those quarterbacks was Martinez. The four-star prospect from Clovis West High School (Fresno, California) visited Ohio State last November for the Buckeyes’ home game against Michigan State, a visit on which he was hosted by Ohio State’s current starting quarterback, Dwayne Haskins.
