Dependable Iowa tackle who brings size, grit, and steady pass protection
In the 2011 season, Woody Orne gave Iowa the kind of sturdy, no-drama offensive line play Kirk Ferentz loves: he played in nine games with seven starts and finished the year starting at right tackle over the final five games, helping the Hawkeyes go 4-1 down the stretch. He’s a classic Big Ten lineman—6-foot-5, about 295 pounds—valued more for reliability, technique, and toughness than flash. If you want a seasoned, assignment-sound blocker who can stabilize the edge, Orne fits the mold.
