See Ohio State pledge in action Thursday night.

Tate Martell is simply a magician with the football. The nation's No. 2 dual-threat quarterback has the moves to match.

Martell may only be 5-foot-10, but as seen in the highlights above, he showed off his hops by hurdling over a standing defender during a 60-yard  run.

The Ohio State pledge followed it up by shaking off four tacklers and dusting the defense for a 32-yard touchdown run.

Martell led Bishop Gorman (Las Vegas) to a 59-0 victory over Palo Verde in the first round of the NIAA Class 4A playoffs. The Gaels have won 51 games in a row.

On the season, Martell has posted 1,766 passing yards, 862 rushing yards and 43 total touchdowns in leading Gorman to a national No. 1 ranking.
Tate Martell has piled up over 2,600 total yards and 43 touchdowns this season.
