Martinez, a junior inside linebacker, leads Stanford with 24 tackles and was No. 10 in the league through three games. βI think heβs playing about the best of anybody on defense right now,β Stanford defensive coordinatorΒ Lance AndersonΒ told reporters last week. βHe had a great offseason in terms of just improving his speed, improving his strength. Heβs a big, physical kid that runs really well. Itβs all translating on the field.β
