Danny Orrock enters his first year as a special teams analyst at Pitt.
Orrock arrives at Pitt after serving as a graduate assistant at Ohio University, where he worked with the Bobcats’ defensive backs and special teams during the 2023 season.
Ohio stormed to 10 victories in 2023, including a 41-21 triumph over Georgia Southern in the Myrtle Beach Bowl.
The Bobcats featured one of college football’s elite defenses, boasting Top 15 national rankings in no fewer than 10 statistical categories, including total defense (fourth, 273.5 yards per game), scoring defense (sixth, 15.8 points per game) and rushing defense (seventh, 91.2 yards per game).
Orrock is a 2022 honors graduate of Miami University with a bachelor’s degree in kinesiology and health. He was a four-year student assistant for the RedHawks’ football staff, working with four different positional groups as well as special teams.
During his time at Miami, he worked under current Pitt special teams coordinator and tight ends coach Jacob Bronowski. Among the RedHawk’s special teams standouts was consensus All-America placekicker Graham Nicholson, who won the prestigious Lou Groza Award.
