He'll have some competition next year when he tries to regain his starting position.
We know Cichy has to play, either inside or Outside, we know EDWARDS has to play, CONNELLY just seems to get better and better and Jacobs will bea fifth year senior who has shown a lot this year also.
They seem to like GRADY (he should RS next season IMO) Nick Thomas, Dallas Jeanty and Mason Stokke are looming too.
Easy to say move CICHY to the outside, he's great there too but if Watt returns and he might, that's one side taken care of and we have Dooley, Baun, Bell, Burke, ALL of whom might have to take a back seat to the very talented Van GInkel also.
I think there might be some attrition, think Thomas and Jeanty might be a bit unhappy next season, especially with Orr and Edwards both having 2 years left (Orr has three).
I actually feel bad for Leon Jacobs, don't see much PT for him next year if ORR is 100%.
Hate to project so far forward . I know it's silly, but Orr is a future Coach type, that kind of kid, with that kind of pedigree, imagine him as our linebackers coach in 7-8 years , we'd get an Aranda, Wilcox. Tibesar, Leonhard disciple who played for WISCONSIN and has tremendous TEXAS recruiting connections also.
Perfect!
