Final Report
Domonique Orange is a stout interior defensive lineman from Iowa State. Orange is built like a boulder at 6'2" and 322 lbs with long, powerful arms. In 2025, Orange didn't have much production tallying only 0.5 tackles for loss and 18 total tackles. However, on tape, he fulfils his main function as a gap filler and block absorber. In the run game, Orange is difficult to move and has great anchoring ability. He frequently absorbs power from double teams without giving up his gap. He also does a great job of keeping his hands busy with chops and swipes to prevent blockers from latching onto him. Orange frequently uses an effective swim move when he wants to get around blockers. In pass rush, Orange doesn't really offer much and he would have a long way to go if he wants that to be any part of his game in the NFL. Orange projects as a quality early down IDL who will probably come off the field on more obvious passing downs. He fits best in a 3-4 nose tackle role ideally but he can probably also play 4-3 1-technique as well.
