90s kicker. He went to the NFL, but I remember he thought and acted like each of his kicks were game winning. And sometimes they were! (Big 12 times)
Not to say he was arrogant but had mucho enthusiasm.
He (Martin) was a soccer player in high school and didn't play football until his senior year. I read that he had a great range and accuracy in high school (and it showed at K-state). When I first saw him against the Ags in 97, my first thought was that he celebrates after his field goals like a soccer player would after scoring a goal. K-State in 97 and 98 were studs, and Gramatica was a huge part of it. Still gives me goosebumps when I think about the Big-12 championship game.
