Adrian Martinez is poised to become the first true freshman in Nebraska history to start at quarterback in a season opener.
The Cornhuskers released their first official depth chart for the 2018 season Saturday, and first-year coach Scott Frost listed Martinez's name atop the quarterbacks.
Martinez was a major recruiting win for Frost in December, as he ranked 103rd overall on the ESPN 300 and eighth among pocket passers. Nebraska was in need of a quarterback after 2017 starter Tanner Lee declared for the draft - where he was taken in the sixth round by the Jacksonville Jaguars.
Martinez, a native of Fresno, Calif., will lead the Huskers into action Saturday versus Akron.
