Early years
Jamie Orion was both in Indianapolis, IN to parents Edwin and Regina. He was born on a Sunday and, at a birth weight of 9 lbs 10 oz, was immediately knighted as a "future football star" by his sports-loving father. He played multiple sports and ran track at Columbus North High School, but quickly developed a passion for football. After earning a spot on the Varsity team, he earned the nickname "Raider" during his Sophomore season after forcing multiple fumbles while lined up as a gunner on the punt cover team. By his junior year he was a starting safety, and by senior year a team captain. Coaches and scouts lauded him not just for his solid fundamentals, but for his workout ethic and personal responsibility. As a captain, he instituted a personal policy where any blown assignments required an escalating number of pushups. While not playing football he loves reading science fiction stories and graphic novels, hiking, and fishing.
College career
Orion passed up a number of football scholarships to smaller MAC schools in order to walk on at Purdue. Despite the program's relative depth at the safety position, his enthusiasm, tenacity, and willingness to play any position soon earned him a scholarship, although he mostly played on special teams. Once again his work ethic and awareness came to the forefront; he was known to stay late in the gym, and knew the names of all its personnel, including the cleaning staff. His first snaps on defense came during a blowout win over Indiana State early in his sophomore year, and though he failed to record a tackle he did have a single pass break-up. Once again he worked his way up the ranks, playing as a back-up safety and nickelback his Junior year before getting elevated into the starting lineup due to injuries. Ultimately he started 21 games at Purdue, recording 6 interceptions and 16 passes defended.
