Rivals.com: Orr's stock on the rise
Not that long ago, few outside the area knew who Gulf TE/DL Leon Orr was.
Then he committed to Florida.
And well, that changed everything.
Today, Rivals.com, the well-known recruiting site, ranks the 6-foot-6, 310-pound Orr as the country's 21st-best defensive tackle prospect and gives him four out of a possible five stars.
Last week, the site released a list of players whose stock is on the rise. Not surprisingly, Orr's name was on it.
Of the Pasco County standout, Rivals.com wrote: "Orr showcased his athletic ability and skills in his intra-squad spring game, where he played tight end and outside linebacker at 6-6 and 310 pounds. He has amazing athleticism, speed, quickness and agility for a player his size. He is physically similar to Glenn 'Big Baby' Davis of the Boston Celtics at the same stage. Orr is easily one of the best 'big' athletes in the nation."
