All American, and former coach for the Javelinas, Jaime Martinez was on the 2009 coaching staff. He is a familiar face of Javelina Nation and is currently a consultant for the team. He said there is something special about this 2022 team. Similar to the 2009 team.
"If you have a great culture, I think your football team as a whole can make it through tough times, times games, the struggles through practices and stuff like that. I don't think this is a one hit wonder," said Martinez.
The squad is up against Angelo State on the 22nd.
