Jamie Martin, who was the signal-caller at Weber State from 1989-92, helped rewrite the school record books and bring national recognition to the Wildcat football program. Martin was a two-time All-American in 1990 and 1991, while winning the Walter Payton Award in 1991 and becoming just the second Big Sky player in league history to earn the honor. 
 
In 41 games, -- 36 straight as a starter -- Martin established himself as the fifth all-time leading total offense (12,287 yards) and passing (12,207 yards) leader in the entire history of collegiate football, in any or all divisions. Martin also earned 87 career touchdowns, which ranks second in program history. At the time he graduated, Martin owned 14 Big Sky single-game, season and career passing records.
 
Martin went on to play 14 seasons in the NFL, with his first stop coming in 1993 with the Los Angeles Rams. Martin saw his first on-field NFL action in 1996 after playing in six games with the Rams. In total, Martin played for nine different teams in his 14 seasons in the NFL.  
 
Martin, from Arroyo Grande, California, was ranked ninth on the Big Sky Conference’s list of “50 Greatest Male Athletes of All-Time” back in 2014, while being inducted into Weber State’s Hall of Fame in 2000. Martin was the first athlete in Weber State history to have his jersey retired in 2014.
