Players

  In the third round, the Chargers took Louis Vasquez, a three-time All-Big 12 selection who started 35 games during his collegiate career. Vasquez should have no problem fitting in with San Diego’s high-powered offense as Texas Tech featured the NCAA’s fourth-ranked offense in 2008. Vasquez will help fill the void left by right guard Mike Goff, who signed with Kansas City as a free agent this offseason.

  Vasquez’s favorite memory from college was the Red Raiders’ 2008 upset of Texas that knocked the undefeated Longhorns from atop the national polls.

  Some of Vasquez’s hobbies include fishing, skeet shooting, boxing and hanging out with family and friends.
