Boston College head coach Jeff Hafley has to be giddy with excitement. The former Ohio State defensive coordinator just landed his second former Buckeye from the transfer portal, Cameron Martinez. He is the second OSU defensive back to join the Eagles, joining Ryan Turner, who announced his commitment to Boston College last week.

Martinez appeared in three games for Ohio State this year after appearing in all 13 games last season. He was a four-star prospect in the 2020 class and was recruited to play in Columbus by Hafley before he left for the East Coast.

He redshirted his freshman year, meaning Martinez will have two years of eligibility remaining.

Martinez transfers to an Eagle team that finished 6-6 and will face SMU in the Fenway Bowl. The safety should be challenge for playing time right away.
