A four-year starting quarterback at Nebraska, Martinez announced Thursday via Twitter that he’s picked Kansas State as his next stop.

A native of Fresno, California, Martinez’s first visit after entering the transfer portal Dec. 2 was to Manhattan, Kansas. His girlfriend, Marisa Weichel, is a star soccer player for the Wildcats and their leading scorer.

Martinez, a three-time captain at Nebraska, is in the early stages of rehabilitating from a Nov. 24 operation on his right (throwing) shoulder. The 6-foot-2, 220-pound signal-caller suffered the shoulder injury Nov. 20 at Wisconsin and missed Nebraska’s season finale Nov. 26 against Iowa.

In his final start at Nebraska, Martinez broke the school’s all-time offensive yardage record, finishing with 10,792 to move past former quarterback Tommy Armstrong.

However, he played the second half of the Wisconsin game with a shoulder injury suffered in the first half. Nebraska coach Scott Frost said NU wasn’t able to determine the extent of the injury at halftime, and Martinez played the second half through what Frost described as “clicking” in his shoulder.
