Prolific Scorer Jared Martinelli Signs National Letter to Play at Temple
2.1.12 | Men's Soccer
PHILADELPHIA – After giving a verbal commitment to head coach David MacWilliams back in April, Cumberland Valley High School's Jared Martinelli signed his National Letter of Intent on Wednesday, making it official that he will don Cherry and White while playing his collegiate soccer at Temple University.
“Jared is a very dynamic forward,” MacWilliams said. “He is capable of putting lot of points on the board. Not to put the pressure on him, but I feel he will be one of the more prolific scorers. I see him making his mark and having a great four years here at Temple.”
Assistant coach Trevor Singer added, “He is a blistering scorer and has all the tools. He has the potential to be one of the best players this program has ever had.”
With 67 goals in his high school career, Martinelli tallied nearly half of them as a senior in 2011.
The forward from Mechanicsburg, Pa. exploded for 32 goals and dished out 11 assists last fall, giving him a total of 75 points over a 19-game season. Martinelli's production earned him Mid-Penn Conference Player of the Year for the second straight season.
A two-time regional All-American while playing his high school soccer, Martinelli was elected to play on a national stage back in December, as he was selected by a committee of 20 coaches from around the country to play in the 2011 National High School All-American Game, held in Birmingham, Ala.
Martinelli, who was also sought after by Penn State, Akron, Clemson and Virginia, is eager about coming to North Philadelphia to play for the Temple Owls.
“I'm really looking forward to going there,” Martinelli said. “It's a great school, I'm very excited to play there and I think it should be a lot of fun.”
Martinelli played his club soccer for HMMS (Hompden-Monroe-Middlesex-Silver Spring).
