RJ Martinez Junior Highlights
Martinez set a Texas state record in his last game of 2019 when he completed 50 of 76 passes for 606 yards and seven touchdowns, plus he ran the ball 13 times for 193 yards and three touchdowns. Martinez even caught a pass for two yards.
His 50 completions tied the state record held by current Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray (Allen High School) and Paul Millard of Flower Mound Marcus High School. The 74 attempts was one short of the all-time single game record held by Johnny Manziel of Kerrville Tivy High School.
“RJ’s football IQ is off the charts. He understands where all 22 guys on the field need to be. He is a coach on the field who can make decisions that put us in great situations.”
Anthony Wood, Westwood Head Football Coach
In the Warriors’ season opening 37-8 win over San Antonio Southwest, Martinez completed 9-of-14 passes for 204 yards with three touchdowns. He also ran for a score.
