NevadaHusker27 Posted August 23, 2008 Share Posted August 23, 2008 Taylor Martinez has committed to Nebraska according to rivals.com Here is a link: http://hsgameblog.beloblog.com/inlandsouth...-commits-t.html Link to comment
Danimal Posted August 23, 2008 Share Posted August 23, 2008 Hell of an athlete. Thing that will be interesting is if he really tears it up this year teams could give him the bums-rush as a qb? He is obviously willing to play safety since he committed here but I still wonder if he'd be tempted away. Link to comment

Maybe later in the process but lets try to get some bigger guys in first. Link to comment

Ohio Pete Posted August 23, 2008 Share Posted August 23, 2008 So almost wasn't eligible his senior year due to transfer rules, but since moving he looks to be OK: The Huskies already are relying on another top transfer, Taylor Martinez from San Bernardino Cajon. He's slated to take over at quarterback for Matt Scott. Martinez was originally declared ineligible by the Southern Section when his hardship appeal was denied, but he has since moved into the Centennial district, making him eligible, according to Coach Matt Logan. This is his 3rd school, but he did not play football as a sophomore and there may have been some other issues with his dad and the previous school. Anyway, his new school is very highly ranked: Here are Cal-Hi Sports' rankings: SectionSports.com ranks the Top-25 in the Southern Section, based on our analysis of overall team ability, given new and returning players, along with coach interviews. 1. CORONA CENTENNIAL 2007: 13-2, Inland Division champions. Outlook: The Huskies reached the State Bowl Championship last season but lost to De La Salle. They are in terrific shape to get back there in 2008, with LB Vontaze Burfict leading a powerhouse defense. QB Taylor Martinez has transferred in from Cajon to lead the offense. Link to comment

He has been high on NU for a long time. while others are worried about his commitment at this point in time i think he is solid With a solid year I could see him getting offers to play QB somewhere, but he and his father may feel S is his best position for big time football.
