Weatherford’s Jordan Martinez – Football Spotlight – Presented by Weatherford Chiropractic Clinic

By Payton Moody

Jordan Martinez, a junior at Weatherford High School, has emerged as a standout football player through dedication and hard work. Jordan’s journey in football began somewhat unexpectedly when he moved to Weatherford in sixth grade. “What got me started on playing football was when I first moved here to Weatherford my sixth-grade year. Coach Soss spent a whole year trying to convince me to start playing football in seventh grade, and he finally convinced me to try it. I thank Coach Soss for it because if it wasn’t for him, I wouldn’t have tried it,” Jordan explained.

His passion for the sport is fueled by the camaraderie and support from his team and coaches. “What inspires me is being with my team and my coaches and how we all help push each other to be the team we are today,” he said. This season, Jordan feels optimistic about the team’s potential. “I think we are going to be a very good team this year. Everything about how this season is starting just feels better than last year. There is more energy out on the field, everyone is pushing each other to their limits, and there is a lot of motivation.”

As a player who leads by example, Jordan takes pride in his role on the team. “My role on the team, I feel like, is if they need someone that will try his hardest to get something done, they know they can come to me, and I will try my best for them,” he shared. His primary goal for the season is ambitious yet heartfelt: “My biggest goal is to take state with my team. I love the team that I have and want to have that special moment with this team.”

One of Jordan’s favorite memories this season is tied to his teammate, Gage Stegall. “One of my favorite memories was Gage Stegall always making jokes with me, and every time we got to the line, he would ask me what the play was again. He always had to check with me first.”

Looking ahead, Jordan envisions a future that combines his love for football with a potential career in mechanics. “Hopefully, I’m some type of mechanic or have a good offer for football,” he said.

His advice to younger players is simple yet profound: “Don’t be scared to try something new because you can end up really liking it. Also, don’t take any plays off because you only get so many. Before you know it, you’re graduating.”
