Across four seasons with the Tigers, Martinez has appeared in 44 games with four starts. 

As a recruit, he was the No. 375 overall prospect in the 2020 class, according to the On3 Industry Ranking, a weighted average that utilizes all four major recruiting media companies. He also ranked as the nation’s No. 15 offensive lineman and the No. 58 recruit in Florida.

Before taking his talents to Baton Rouge, Martinez was highly sought after as a recruit, as he chose LSU over programs like the Ohio State Buckeyes, Georgia Bulldogs, Florida Gators, Auburn Tigers and Penn State Nittany Lions. We’ll see where he ends up this time around as he moves on to a new chapter.
