Jamie Martin is returning to Weber State.

On Friday, the school announced that the Wildcat quarterback legend and longtime NFL signal caller has been hired as an offensive analyst on head football coach Mickey Mental’s staff.

“I’m honored to be back at Weber State, a place I’ve always loved and rooted for,” Martin said in a statement. “I’m excited to support coach Mental and contribute to the success of the players and the program.”

Martin, who will be turning 55 next week, arrived at Weber State in 1989 from Arroyo Grande, California, and went on to win the Walter Payton Award, given to the top player in Division I-AA (now FCS), in 1991.

Additionally, Martin was a two-time All-American, two-time Big Sky MVP and is still Weber State’s all-time leader in total offense with 12,287 career yards.

In 2014, Martin’s No. 10 jersey was retired by Weber State.

Undrafted out of college, Martin stuck as a free agent with the Los Angeles Rams in 1993 and wound up playing 16 years in the NFL for the Los Angeles/St. Louis Rams (four different stints), Washington Redskins (now Commanders), Jacksonville Jaguars (two different stints), Cleveland Browns, New York Jets, New Orleans Saints and San Francisco 49ers.

In all, Martin played in 53 NFL games and threw for 3,814 yards with 20 touchdowns and 21 interceptions.

Since his NFL career, Martin has been involved in coaching and various business ventures. In 2023, Martin returned to Utah to become head coach of the Ogden Jets, a post-high school football team.

“We are very excited to bring back Jamie to his home,” Mental said in a statement. “He is obviously a very decorated player here at Weber State and had a long career in the NFL, and anytime you can bring someone with that experience, it will go a long way in helping our players. He has great football knowledge and will bring great ideas to our staff. We are really excited to have him join us.”
