Chase Ortiz came to TCU as a linebacker, but after redshirting his Freshman year and seeing no game action as a RS Freshman he moved to Defensive End prior to the 2005 season. Ortiz entered the spring buried at third string on the depth-chart, but by the opener against OU he had worked his way in to a starting role.
Ortiz finished his career as a three-time all MWC conference defensive selection, the first Frog since 1977 to be chosen all conference three times in his career. Ortiz was signed as a free-agent by the Cleveland Browns.
Up next, a linebacker who in his senior year had 30 tackles for a loss accounting for a school record 120 lost yards.
