Curly Ordonez is Temple’s tone-setter at linebacker
In the 2025 season, Curly Ordonez led Temple’s defense in tackles with 66 and added 7.0 tackles for loss plus a forced fumble, which is exactly the kind of production you want from a middle-of-the-defense captain. He’s a senior linebacker with a reputation for consistency, leadership, and activity around the ball — Temple even highlighted his captaincy and preseason all-conference recognition. If you want a tough, reliable run defender who brings edge and control to the front seven, he’s a very good fit.
