Adrian Martinez Named to Freshman All-American Team

The Husker quarterback made the Football Writers Association of American list

Two quarterbacks were named to the Football Writers Association of America (FWAA) Freshman All-American team. One is playing in tonight’s national championship game, Clemson’s Trevor Lawrence. The other is Nebraska’s Adrian Martinez.

The exciting dual-threat signal caller from California made his mark in his first season as a Cornhusker. He completed just under 65% of his passes (second in school history), throwing for 2,617 yards (eighth in school history) and rushing for over 600 more.

Martinez ranks 12th nationally in total offensive yards per game (295.1), and leads all freshman in that category, while ranking fourth among freshmen in passing yards per game. Martinez averaged 237.9 passing yards per game and 57.2 rushing yards per game in 2018, becoming just the second FBS true freshman since 1990 to average 200 passing yards and 50 rushing yards per game and the first to hit those averages as a Power Five program.
