Assistant Coach Martinez
I was born in New Mexico and played football as a linebacker and running back from 8 years old until I graduated from Lovington High school. We won the state championship and were runner up the second year. I also played high school baseball where we ended a 60-year drought by winning a state championship! I played basketball and soccer throughout my high school career. I have a great love for the game of football. I enjoy helping young people to succeed and overcome obstacles in their life to help them grow as young people.

He played baseball at Skagit Valley College and Biola University in Southern California. Pop brings a lot of positivity and energy to the sidelines. He has done a tremendous job with our DEs the last couple of seasons. This past season, he helped add a defensive presence with all our DL end top 10 in Sacks/TFL and has helped our kickers out.
