A tall athletic wide receiver, Greg Orton is one of the top Junior players in Ohio. With great hands and the ability to make great catches, Orton will see his stock rise during the winter and keep intact the line of fine players who have come from Huber Heights Wayne High School. Has received his first offer in October of 2003 from Iowa.

I just watched his film, and have the following comments: Greg has great hands and uses his size (6'4") well; uses his body to cut off the defender from the ball. Claims a 4.49 forty, but doesn't seem that fast (it wasn't a Nike time). He goes after the ball well, and gets it, but doesn't do much with it after the catch (i.e., speed, power, and elusivity are not special). A classic possession receiver (not necessarily a bad thing). Could be worthy of an offer.
He has offers from Michigan State, Iowa, Purdue, and Cincinnati.
