Pete Orwig brings veteran depth and trench toughness to JMU’s front
Pete Orwig is a redshirt senior offensive guard for James Madison in the 2026 season, listed at 6-3 and 265 pounds, giving the Dukes experienced depth on the interior line[1]. He stands out more for reliability, physicality, and maturity than flash—valuable traits in a run-first, spread-option offense that leans on stability up front[2][3]. If a team wants a battle-tested guard who can help set the tone in the trenches, Orwig is the kind of steady, no-drama fit coaches love.
