Francisco Isaiah Kailani Orine joins the Little Rock wrestling staff as an assistant coach for the 2025-26 season, set to begin his first year of coaching after a decorated career as both a student-athlete and competitor on the national stage.

A native of Imperial, Missouri, Orine is the oldest of four boys, the son of Cisco Orine and Nicole Landolt, and a role model to his younger brothers Draegen, Kaemen, and Jace. His wrestling journey began in Missouri, where he quickly rose to prominence at the high school level. Competing for Seckman High School, Orine became a three-time Missouri state champion and four-time state placer. He also earned national recognition as a Fargo All-American (5th), Super 32 placer (5th), Ironman placer (3rd), Flo Nationals finalist, and NHSCA National Champion.

Orine went on to wrestle collegiately at North Carolina State, where he became one of the program’s more accomplished athletes. He was a four-time NCAA National Qualifier, two-time ACC Champion (2023, 2024), and two-time NCAA All-American (2023, 2024). In addition to his success on the mat, Orine excelled in the classroom, earning a bachelor’s degree in Art and Design while being named a four-time Academic All-American.

As he transitions into coaching, Orine brings with him not only the technical expertise of a proven competitor but also the leadership qualities of a mentor dedicated to athlete development. He is eager to help continue the growth of Little Rock wrestling while instilling the same values of discipline, hard work, and perseverance that defined his own career.
