Corteza was recruited to De La Salle Green Archers in 2018. [6] However, he left the Green Archers after one year at the same time with Aaron Waban, Jollo Go and Mark Dyke due to changes of staff and limited minutes in Season 80. [7]
He then transferred to College of Saint Benilde. [8] When asked about his career in Taft, Corteza said in an interview with Spin.ph, "I have no bad blood with La Salle. I still support them. Lasalyano pa rin naman ako." [9] He served one year of residency before being eligible to play for the NCAA Season 97 in 2022.
Under both Coach Charles Tiu and TY Tang, Corteza was quick to be one of the main contributors of the Blazers, averaging 8.7 points and 5.5 rebounds but the team failed to secure a semifinal slot in Season 97. [9] Corteza's consistent performance made him known in the collegiate scene in NCAA Season 98. [10] He had 18 points, three rebounds, and three assists in a win over the San Sebastian Stags to start the season 2–0. [11]
They got their third straight win against the UPHSD Altas in which he had 15 points and seven rebounds. [12] Against the Letran Knights, he had 18 points and seven rebounds, but lost the ball in the last eleven seconds of the game, leading to their first loss of the season. [13]

[16] In their Final Four match against the San Beda Red Lions, he only scored seven points, but grabbed 12 rebounds as the Blazers returned to the Finals for the first time in 20 years. [17]
In the Finals, they faced the defending champions, the Letran Knights. [18] In Game 1, he scored 18 points, but he and his teammates suffered cramps throughout the games and they lost. He bounced back in Game 2 with 21 points, 10 rebounds, and four assists, and the Blazers forced a do-or-die Game 3. [19] The Blazers though, couldn't get the win in Game 3, and Letran got its third straight championship. [20] He averaged 17.67 points, 6.3 rebounds, and 1.0 steals in the Finals. [21]
To begin his senior season, he led with a game-high 21 points alongside four rebounds and five blocks in a loss to the Lyceum Pirates. [22] He scored 21 points again in a win over the JRU Heavy Bombers. [23] He then had a double-double of 14 points and 11 rebounds in a loss to San Beda. [24] However, they started the season 1–3. [25] In a game against the EAC Generals, he had 15 points and six rebounds before he injured his ankle in the last two minutes of that game. [26] Despite the injury, he was able to play in the next game, and nearly get a double-double with 12 points and nine rebounds. [27] They got to fourth place in the standings with a win over the Cardinals in which he had 17 points and nine rebounds. [28] Then they moved up to third place in another game against JRU in which he had 18 points and five rebounds. [29] In the Final Four, they were defeated by the Cardinals.
