Nate Ortiz brings size, pedigree, and a blue-collar edge to Delaware State
Nate Ortiz entered Delaware State as a 6-foot-4, 235-pound tight end out of St. Anthony, where he was a 2011 All-Hudson County and All-State selection and drew Division I interest before signing with the Hornets in 2012. His calling card is NFL-style frame, versatility, and toughness — the kind of tight end who can help in-line, create matchup problems, and bring a veteran, physical mentality to a roster. He looks like a fit for a team that values disciplined, hard-nosed play and developmental upside.
