Ortiz, Eze Representing TCU in Bowl Games for Seniors

 


TCU long snapper Antonio Ortiz will play in the NFLPA Collegiate Bowl.

TCU offensive tackle Obinna Ese will play in the upcoming East-West Shrine Bowl.

 The NFLPA Collegiate Bowl will be played on January 29, in the Rose Bowl in Pasadena, California. 

The East-West Shrine Bowl will be played on February 3, in Allegiant Stadium, in Las Vegas, Nevada.

Both games will be televised by the NFL Network. 

Ortiz was a semifinalist for the Patrick Mannelly Award, presented to the best FBS senior long snapper. He started in all 44 games he played over the course of four years at TCU, and was a three-time First Team American All-Big 12 recipient.

The NFLPA Collegiate Bowl will be the second appearance at an All-Star game for Ortiz. Earlier in January, he played in the Hula Bowl in Orlando, Florida.

During his single season with TCU, Eze, who has also been invited to the 2022 NFL Combine, was one of only two TCU offensive linemen to start all 12 games this past season. He was named Honorable-Mention Big 12 Offensive Newcomer of the Year. 

Through his final two years with Memphis (2019-20), Eze started all 25 games at left tackle. He helped lead the Tigers to an American Athletic Conference championship and Cotton Bowl berth.
