Getting to know: Dylan Orms

GREELEY, Colo. – Mother Nature took it easy on the Northern Colorado football team, as the second practice during the team’s first two-a-day had cloud cover and rain drops every now and then to cool things down.

To celebrate the 2011 season, each practice prior to school starting uncbears.com will be highlighting a different senior on the roster. Each senior will be asked a series of questions and then those same questions will be asked to a roommate or friend on the team, as well as another player of the same position to test how well they know each other.

Dylan Orms is a senior quarterback from Wheat Ridge who started 10 of 11 games last season. He completed 133-of-254 passes for 2,055 yards and 15 touchdowns and also rushed for 217 yards on 99 carries and another six touchdowns. Orms, for the first time in his career, also caught a pass, hauling in a 20-yard gain from Dominic Gunn at Montana State.

Roommate and fellow senior Chuks Nweke and fellow QB Seth Lobato were polled to see how well they know Orms off the field.
