Daniel Ortiz Lands at Dominican Penguins After Stellar D1 Tenure and JUCO Dominance
Seasoned 6-0 guard Daniel Ortiz, fresh off a transfer to Dominican (CA) Penguins for 2025-26, brings proven D1 firepower—led North Alabama with 14.8 PPG and 40.9% from three in 2022-23 (Second-Team All-ASUN), averaged 11.6 PPG at UAB in 2023-24 helping secure an NCAA bid, and earned 2x WSC-North First Team All-Conference at Oxnard JC. His elite shooting, scoring bursts (career-high 32 pts, 10 threes in a game), and 1,315 career D1 points make him a dynamic offensive engine; relentless competitor with championship pedigree—perfect fit for teams needing a clutch, battle-tested PG.
