Adrian is going to play football for Kansas State.
The former Nebraska quarterback is transferring to the Kansas State.
After four years at Nebraska, he decided to enter the transfer portal.
He was one of the first recruits for Scott Frost. The California native was a 4-star prospect and the No. 7 dual-threat quarterback in his class.
Despite some promising moments, the tenure of Martinez was disappointing. He threw for 8,495 yards, 45 touchdown and 30 interceptions and completed 63.5 percent of his attempts.
A shoulder injury prevented him from starting against Iowa. In a 28-21 loss, freshman Logan Smothers started in his place and accounted for 262 yards with two rushing touchdown.
Kansas State needs a new starting quarterback for the Texas Bowl with Skylar Thompson set to end his college career.
Will Howard is likely to contend for the starting job with the help of a competition from Chris Klieman.
