Bentley University

Wow! A very suitable interjection if we are talking about Todd Orlando and his illustrious basketball career as a center for the Falcons. His career numbers upon graduation read like a Sesame Street episode sponsored by the Number One. Number ONE in Bentley history with games played, games started, field-goal percentage, free throws made and attempted, field goal percentage, blocked shots and oh... number two to Brian Hammel in points scored. ONE of three players in Bentley history to surpass both ONE thousand points and ONE thousand rebounds. He never missed ONE game and he still holds the records for field goal percentage and blocks. Are you starting to see the correlation?

As a freshman, he finished the season as the team's second-highest scorer with 14.6 points per game and led the team in rebounds, blocks and field goal percentage for what would be the first of four straight seasons. His Northeast-7 Rookie of the Year award was first of numerous accolades for the 6-10 Andover, Massachusetts native.

In Todd's final season, he once again found himself being honored with several awards including Basketball Weekly Division II All-America second team, first team AII-Notheast-8, ECAC Division II All-Star, NABC Division II All-New England second team and Bentley's Outstanding Male Senior Athlete.

At the conclusion of Todd's career, one that included 1,671 points and 1,024 rebounds, the Boston Celtics drafted him in the fifth round. He opted not to follow up with the Celtics and decided to play overseas as a professional in a European league.

Todd returned to the states following his stint in Europe and took a position as a teacher with the Bishop Kenny High School in Jacksonville, Florida. He began coaching the girls' varsity basketball team to satisfy his love for the game, serving in that role until 2000. His career included three consecutive state championships.

Todd later served as Dean of Students and Principal at Bishop Kenny.
