Orlando came to Morrisville in 2019 via Syracuse University where he completed a year-long internship on the sidelines with the Division I Orange that culminated with a Camping World Bowl Championship.
Orlando also spent time as an assistant to the offensive coordinator, participating in daily quarterback meetings sand coordinating individual skill position drills. He also worked with the running backs and specialist coaches for two seasons.
