This week’s Orange Panther of the Week is junior running back Nate Sorrells. In addition, the Orange Defensive Player of the Week is senior Linebacker Jabari Albright. On Monday night, Sorrells rushed for a career-high 202 yards as the Panthers defeated Cedar Ridge 50-0 at Auman Stadium to retain the Victory Bell. In addition, Sorrells threw an 84-yard touchdown pass to Wynston Brown for the Panthers first home win of the season. Albright had two rushing touchdowns for the Panthers and rushed for a career-high 87 yards. In September, Sorrells rushed for 157 yards and two touchdowns in a victory over Granville Central. Albright managed to bounce back from an ankle injury early in the season and was among the leading tacklers on the team this season. He played his final game for Orange against Eastern Alamance on Friday night. Sorrells didn’t even have football as his first sport. He started as a soccer player, hut moved over to the gridiron, where he’s been a steady presence on Orange’s offense for the past two years. Sorrells will start preparation for the 2023 season on Monday.
