It’s unsurprising that an Iowa State nose tackle wasn’t getting much buzz during the 2025 college season. However Domonique Orange (aka “Big Citrus”) quickly became a “nudge guy” over the course of the process leading up to the 2026 NFL Draft. Orange is certainly a nose tackle, but he does all the things a nose tackle needs to do in order to help his defense, and he does many of them well. He possesses a very good first step for a squat, wide-bodied nose tackle, exploding off the line of scrimmage. And despite his power and play strength, Orange can be stymied or even put on skates when blockers are able to get under his pads.
