Damien Martinez from Oregon State Football Decides to Enter Transfer Portal

The Salem Saturday Market has kicked off for the season and will be open every Saturday from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. until October. Visitors can explore a wide range of vendors offering fresh produce, handmade crafts, and delicious food options.

In other news, Oregon State’s star running back Damien Martinez has entered the transfer portal, potentially signaling a move to another team. Martinez had an impressive sophomore season, earning first-team all-Pac-12 honors. He was a key player for the Beavers, rushing for over 1,000 yards in both the 2022 and 2023 seasons.

The departure of Deshaun Fenwick means that the Beavers will be looking to players like Jam Griffin and Isaiah Newell to step up in the upcoming season.
