Taylor Martinez is born September 15, 1990 in Corona, California. Taylor Martinez is a American football quarterback who plays for the Nebraska Cornhuskers. Martinez played his senior year of high school football at Centennial High School in Corona, California, where he was a teammate of Vontaze Burfict.

Taylor also rushed for 750 yards with 12 touchdowns. Not only did Martinez receive multiple awards for his performance but led Centennial to a state championship win and a perfect season 15.
