Former Oregon State stud running back Damien "Bat Man" Martinez picked Miami (FL)

Martinez, a two-time all-Pac-12 First Team running back, stunned the OSU fans and his coaches by announcing he would be transferring despite "emphatic and repeated pledges of loyalty to the Beavers." At the time, Trent Bray said his loyalty meant "everything" to the program.

Martinez rushed for 2,167 yards and 16 touchdowns, which included 12 100-yard performances, during his two seasons in Corvallis.

Martinez was arrested last November (2023) for running a red light and was accused of DUI, reckless driving, and reckless endangering. He also was cited for possession of marijuana as a minor since he's under 21.

While many were hopeful he would end up in East Lansing, the commitment of RB Kay'Ron Lynch-Adams dashed those hopes as far as I can tell.
