Tri-City Diesel News Release
Kearney, NE – The Tri-City Diesel is pleased to announce the signing of two more athletes to this year’s team. Glenn Pilarowski an offensive lineman from the University of Nevada-Las Vegas will return to the Diesel for his second year. Pilarowski, 6’5”, 320, was with the Tri-City Diesel last year until a knee injury sidelined him for the second half of the season. While at UNLV he was a 2-year starter for the Running Rebels.
The Diesel also signed 6’1”, 200 pound quarterback, Jeremy Martin, from Gardner-Webb University. Martin graduated from Gardner-Webb University as one of the most decorated quarterbacks in school history after leading his Bulldogs to a 9-1 record, a top-25 national ranking and Big South Conference championship in 2002. The former Rhode Island Prep Player of the Year finished his career with the best winning percentage of any quarterback in school history – posting a 22-9 record as a starter (.710). The Middletown, R.I., native stands second on the career passing chart at Gardner-Webb with 8,025 yards and 60 touchdowns and had his best overall season as a senior. The 2002 Big South Conference Offensive Player of the Year and an honorable mention I-AA All-American, Martin completed 193-of-326 passes for 2,166 yards and 17 touchdowns, while throwing only four interceptions. He led the Big South in completions, attempts, yards, touchdown passes and passing efficiency as a senior, and was even better in conference games – completing an eye-popping 68.6 percent of his passes and forging a quarterback rating of 152.00. He finished 14th nationally in individual total offense and completed at least one touchdown pass in 26 of his last 29 games at Gardner-Webb. Martin, who was named Division I-AA National Player of the Week twice during his career at GWU, was a three-time honorable mention All-America selection at the Division I-AA level, and was a three-year starter under center.
