PAGE 14 - WEDNESDAY, MARCH 27, 2019 www.thewestfieldnews.com THE WESTFIELD NEWS Finally at Miami, Martell now trying to win a job By TIM REYNOLDS Associated Press CORAL GABLES, Fla. (AP) — Tate Martell originally wanted Miami to notice him in 2016. The Hurricanes got around to it in 2019. Martell took a long, winding road to Coral Gables before transferring from Ohio State earlier this year — and the quar- terback insists that he’s finally ready to start succeeding. Speaking publicly for the first time since the Hurricanes started spring practice, Martell said the transition from Ohio State to Miami has been remarkably simple. “I came in, did what I do, work hard, and it was easy because the guys in the locker room also took me in like they didn’t care I was a transfer,” Martell said. “They didn’t look at me like I was a transfer. They looked at me like this is my teammate, this is what we do, and I wouldn’t say it was really that difficult at all.” Martell’s path to college has been like few others. He com- mitted to Washington as an eighth-grader in 2012. By 2015, he was committed to Texas A&M. And the next year, after decommitting for a second time, he announced that he would be choosing from seven schools — Cal, Colorado, UCLA, USC, West Virginia, Ohio State and Miami. “That was my way of trying to get them to talk to me,” Martell said of having the Hurricanes on that list.
