Chaz Katoanga brings size, range, and freshman intrigue to Portland State’s secondary
A 6-foot-2, 190-pound freshman safety from Oregon City, Chaz Katoanga arrives at Portland State as a promising in-state defender with three-star buzz and a reputation for physical, high-effort play; in high school, he earned first-team all-league and all-state recognition while helping anchor a strong defense. He looks like a fit for a team that values length, toughness, and upside in the back end, though he’s still early in his college development and has no 2026 game logs yet.
