Scouting Report

Thick-framed 6'3", 322-pound defensive tackle who is extremely difficult to move one-on-one with natural leverage and core strength to sit down against double teams. Elite weight-room numbers (450 bench, 650 squat) highlight explosive lower-body power. Only one career sack limits his three-down upside but his run-stopping ability could earn him a role as a starter.

Player Comparison

Strengths

• Devastating upper body power that consistently rocks centers and guards backward, creating immediate disruption at the line of scrimmage.
• Surprising quickness off the snap for his massive frame allows him to penetrate gaps before blockers can establish leverage.
• Diverse pass rush arsenal featuring effective club moves, hump techniques, and swim maneuvers that keep offensive linemen guessing his approach.
• Exceptional closing speed for a nose tackle enables him to track down ball carriers horizontally across the formation.
• Builds tremendous momentum on stunts and twists, using his mass as a battering ram to collapse pocket integrity.
• Grown man strength to physically manhandle centers, tossing them aside like rag dolls when he establishes proper hand placement.
• Generates impressive vertical displacement against interior blockers, driving them backward into the quarterback's lap or disrupting running lanes.
• Shows excellent pursuit tracking, flowing laterally with ball carriers while maintaining gap responsibility and staying disciplined in his rush lanes.
• Made the 2025 Feldman freaks list - he wrote:"Orange had a solid 2024 season, making 24 tackles, including 4.5 for a loss - 3.5 of those TFLs came in the last five games of the season. The 6-4, 325-pound Orange, who spent much of his offseason refining his diet, has benched 450 pounds, squatted 650 and cleaned 365. He also has vertical jumped 34 inches.

Areas to Improve

• Questionable arm length limits his ability to maintain separation from blockers and consistently play within their framework effectively.
• Pad level rises dangerously high during pass rush moves, exposing his torso to devastating counter-punches from savvy linemen.
• Limited flexibility in his lower half prevents him from bending around blocks or dipping under the pads of taller opponents.
• Inconsistent gap discipline as his focus on penetration causes him to abandon anchor responsibilities and create running lanes.
• Struggles mightily against double team blocks, lacking the technique refinement and leverage skills to split or shed multiple blockers consistently.
