That adds to a list that includes Alabama chasing ESPN’s No. 32 overall rated recruit.
The Bee’s reigning Football Player of the Year also visited the SEC’s Tennessee on April 22 and came away impressed with what he saw at the Volunteers’ spring game at Neyland Stadium.

“It ended up hailing,” said Martinez, who has 27 offers in all. “And 40,000 people showed up to their spring game. A spring game. It put things in perspective how much their fans care about football and what University of Tennessee means to them.”
Martinez, listed at 6 feet, 2 inches and 198 pounds, decommitted from Cal last week. He said he could cut down to a top five list or make a new verbal commit in the summer.
For now, he will continue his rehab. He wants to get his right shoulder out of a sling as he progresses.
“I’m about a month and half out of surgery,” he said. “I’ve been doing physical therapy, just doing all the things the doctors have been telling me to do. We’re not really in a rush at this point.”
