Damien Martinez is uncertain to bet Notre Dame in the Tony the Tiger Sun Bowl next week, interim coach Kefense Hynson told reporters Monday.OSU athletic director Scott Barnes revealed Martinez would

be permitted to play in the bowl game on Dec. 15, after the Benton County district lawyer selected not to file charges versus the sophomore in the wake of an arrest on suspicion of driving under the impact of intoxicants last month.Martinez has not been experimenting the group and though Hynson did not completely eliminate Martinez’s involvement in El Paso, Texas, his time away has actually made him not likely to be physically ready.Martinez completed second in the Pac-12 with 1,185 hurrying yards and had nine touchdowns on 194 carries this season

. Oregon State has actually lost numerous essential players to the transfer website considering that coach Jonathan Smith left for Michigan State, consisting of quarterbacks D.J. Uiagalelei and Aidan Chiles. But Martinez promised to stay at Oregon State under new coach Trent Bray.
