Signing Day Extra: Mike Orloff
Name: Mike Orloff
Position: Outside Linebacker/Athlete
Rank: N/R(S) / N/R(R) / N/R(E)
Positional Need: 3/10
Outlook:
Orloff, who played all over the field at Lawrence Academy (Mass.), spurned Iowa late in the game and chose UCLA over the Hawkeyes and Louisville. Though he arrives with little fanfare - his recruitment went under the radar until his official visit over the weekend - Orloff appears to be a legit prospect.
Playing against inferior competition in Massachusetts, granted, but Orloff looks like a big hitter who initiates contact.
He appeared very solid to Iowa for months, which apparently scared many teams off, but apparently Rick Neuheisel pursued him until the very end.
Immediate Impact: 2/10 - Doubt Orloff sees any action as a freshman.
Overall Impact: 5/10 - Orloff looks like a strong hitter with good form, and someone with a nose for the ball.
