ACCN analyst Eddie Royal has selected Damien Martinez as the top contender to lead the ACC in rushing this season
Eddie Royal, a former Virginia Tech wide receiver who now works on professional TV for the ACC Network, believes that Damien Martinez will lead the ACC in rushing yards this season.
I can completely get his side Martinez is just a straight-up badass on the field.
Damien had an amazing true freshman season where he ran for 982 yards and seven touchdowns. He then took it up another notch last season as a sophomore, running for 1,185 yards and nine touchdowns. Those 1,185 yards were enough for 24th best in the country. He was also involved in the passing game, catching 11 passes for an additional 126 yards.
Damien Martinez is a versatile running back, showcasing impressive agility for a 6-foot, 230-pound rusher. While he may not match the elite speed of first-rounders, his skills make him a valuable asset to any team.
Damien displays impressive maturity as a young runner, patiently waiting at the line of scrimmage. I admire his game and appreciate when a running back can make one cut and go.
