As a Cowboy, he was a part of their Super Bowl XXX championship team that beat the Pittsburgh Steelers. He played college football for the University of Oklahoma.
Case attended Alva High School, before transferring to Edmond High School after his sophomore season. As a junior, he was a safety and helped his team reach the Class 4A state finals. In his last year, he was moved to running back and although he received All-State honors, his team finished with a losing record (4-7).

The next year in 9 games, he registered 60 tackles, 4 interceptions, 12 passes defensed and received junior college All-American honors. He also returned punts (19.5-yards average) and kickoffs (15-yards average). He scored 3 touchdowns (2 on punt returns). In his two years, the school posted a 19-1 record.
Case accepted a scholarship from the University of Oklahoma and transferred after his sophomore season. He was named the starting cornerback, registering 56 tackles, 2 interceptions and 8 passes defensed. As a senior, he was switched to free safety and tied a school single-season record for interceptions (eight).
