I remember crying myself to sleep at Independence Community College. B/c D1 Colleges telling me I’m too short to play D-End. The only way to prove them wrong is to make history. Something you cant ever doubt. Thank You UIW for giving me this opportunity to show the world who I am
Temple LB Curly Ordonez (@ApCurly) made an immediate impact after transferring in from the JUCO ranks, quickly becoming one of the Owls' top defensive playmakers.
The Fort Lauderdale, Florida native earned Honorable Mention All-AAC honors after recording 66 tackles, including seven for loss, one sack, and two pass breakups.
Expect Ordonez to be one of the AAC's top linebackers during the 2026 season.
