Oruwariye, listed as 6-foot-1, 203 lbs. was first-team All-Big Ten by the league's coaches and media, the Associated Press and ESPN.
He had seven interceptions and 18 pass deflections in his final two seasons in Happy Valley.
Many pre-draft projections had Oruwariye going as early as the 2nd round, but the Lions were able to add more depth to the defense in the fifth round. He was the fourth defensive player drafted following the selection of T.J. Hockenson in the first round.
