Chase Ortiz brings blue-chip snapper pedigree and steady special-teams value
In the 2026 season, Chase Ortiz is listed as Stetson’s freshman long snapper at 6-1, 206, with a résumé that jumps off the page for a specialist: three state titles at St. Thomas Aquinas, U.S. Army All-American honors, and National Merit recognition[1][6][8]. The stat sheet won’t wow you—long snappers rarely fill it—but the fit is about reliability, maturity, and pressure-proof execution, which is exactly what teams want from the guy nobody notices until the snap is bad[1][8].
