Cameron Martinez Gatorade 2019 - 2020: Player of the Year Football

“Cameron Martinez is an unbelievable player. You can execute near-perfectly and have him bottled up for what should be a big loss, and he’ll find a way to turn it into a big gain. His speed is elite, but his strength is overlooked; he can break tackles and he is challenging to bring down.”

Casey Longo

Head Coach Head coach at East Grand Rapids High
