WooHoo! Gonna be fun to watch that defense again next year.

Speculation that he would be poached with NIL$
Yes this is GREAT NEWS

 

[HFCS]

Does anybody have any idea if or where he might have been drafted?

Interesting. Dom Orange attempting to go pro after his freshman season would certainly be uhh… unprecedented.

Orange was going to go pro? Is he even eligible for the draft?

 

[hobbsfan27]

Great news! Wonder if We Will helped him get the bag.

 

[ClonesTwenty1]

You have to be three years removed from your senior year of high school to go pro in the NFL.

Orange you glad he didn’t say banana?

 

[Old87]

Excellent news. Loved his comment about how they offered the world, but he has his own here. Ames is a special place.

 

[exCYtable]

Wonder who "they" was and how much "the world" was....

 

[Hammerschlagen]

This is a big deal

And in the same breath I'll say, what a time for college football
Teams literally having to recruit their own players every single season
