Out of Detroit Denby High School, Orr played four seasons at Michigan from 1999-2002, starting 22 games at rush end and defensive end. He recorded 23.5 tackles for loss and 12.5 sacks in his career before leaving school for a shot in the NFL. 

Orr discusses why he majored in Movement Science (and how that helped him rehab injuries), why he took his academics so seriously, busting out as a sophomore in 2000, getting robbed by Spartan Bob in the 2001 Michigan State game, exacting revenge with a 49-3 win over MSU in 2002, and what he believes is his ultimate legacy at Michigan.
