There has been no stopping Adrian Martinez in 2024.
The former Nebraska and Kansas State quarterback took over the United Football League (UFL), ultimately landing him the league’s inaugural Most Valuable Player award.
Martinez, playing for the Birmingham Stallions, led the league in rushing yards with 528 while finishing third in passing yards with 1,750. He did this while starting just seven of the team’s 10 games.

Martinez led the Stallions to a 9-1 regular-season record, good for first in the United States Football League standings. On Saturday, his Stallions topped the Michigan Panthers for the USFL Conference Championship. This coming weekend, they’ll take on XFL Champion San Antonio Brahmas in St. Louis for the league championship.

A four year starter at Nebraska, Martinez left Lincoln with program records for several categories over a career, season, and during his electric freshman campaign. Those records are below.
Some of those freshman records may be in trouble this fall with 5-star quarterback Dylan Raiola now in town.
While in Lincoln himself, Martinez never played in a bowl game. He transferred to Kansas State for his extra season, thanks to the NCAA’s COVID eligibility rules.
