Muskegon High School 2020 three-star athlete Cameron Martinez is ranked No. 542 in the nation.

Muskegon 2020 three-star athlete Cameron Martinez has 10 Division I scholarships but remains "pretty serious" in Central Michigan - the first program to grant him an offer. 

"I have a lot of love and respect for them," Martinez said. 

The 5-foot-11, 175 pounder has offers to play for Alabama A&M, Boston College, Buffalo, Central Michigan, Indiana, Kentucky, Northern Illinois, Syracuse, Toledo and Western Michigan. 

"It's like family at CMU," Martinez explained. "There's a really great tradition and the coaching staff is cool." 

Speaking on the coaching staff, he pointedly named head coach John Bonamego and linebackers coach Mike Dietzel as the most diligent in his recruitment. 

Bonamego and Dietzel often make idle chatter with Martinez when they see each other and consistently invite him to return to Mount Pleasant for a visit in the fall. 

Martinez said having CMU has the first school to offer him is going to be "very important" for the Chippewas when he makes an eventual ruling. 

After the first semester of his sophomore year, Martinez veered from Muskegon Catholic Central to Muskegon High School. 

“It’s been awesome,” Martinez said. “I love it at Muskegon. The transition was very easy. I have a lot of family that works at the school and wanted to try something new.”

Playing his first two high school seasons at Muskegon Catholic Center, the multi-purpose 2020 prospect accompanied the team to a state championship as a freshman. Martinez, at Muskegon High, will be forced to escalate against onerous competitiveness. 

He concluded with 1,092 yards and 15 touchdowns rushing, and 826 yards and six passing touchdowns as a sophomore. 

Martinez can play quarterback, wide receiver and safety. If he picks CMU, the choice will be his. 

CMU has three former Muskegon High School players on its 2018 roster — JaCorey Sullivan, Kalil Pimpleton and Andrew Ward. 

Martinez is ranked No. 542 in the nation, No. 52 at his position and No. 19 in Michigan, according to 247Sports Composite.
