Adrian Martinez just had the weight of Husker Nation put on his shoulders. The true freshman quarterback was named the starter for Nebraska football‘s game against Akron.
After weeks of wondering and waiting and expecting a big announcement, it turns out that the starter was named in the most low key way possible. Head coach Scott Frost simply released the depth chart.
While there are some positions that have an “or” following a player’s name, Adrian Martinez stands alone on the top. Is the naming a surprise?
Yes and no. Martinez showed everything he brings to the table during the spring game.
