Ralph Ortiz brings proven Division II production and instant special-teams value to K-State
In the 2024 season at West Florida, Ralph Ortiz was a First Team All-GSC linebacker after logging 42 tackles, 9 tackles for loss, 3.5 sacks, a forced fumble, and an interception; he also showed disruptive playmaking in 2023 with 37 tackles, 6.5 TFL, 3 interceptions, and 7 pass breakups. At Kansas State, he’s been valued for his motor, versatility, and downhill urgency, with his first Wildcats season highlighted by special-teams snaps and a fumble-return touchdown. If a team wants a fast, physical linebacker who has already produced, Ortiz is a savvy fit.
