TRAFFORD, Pa. (Jan. 5) – Junior men's wrestler Jessie Orbin (Houston, Pa. / Chartiers-Houston) rolled to his first individual title of the 2025-26 season at Saturday's Jeff Breese Invitational, which was hosted by Washington & Jefferson. For his accomplishment, Orbin was named Presidents' Athletic Conference (PAC) Wrestler of the Week on Monday.
 
Orbin ran his current winning streak to nine-straight matches by going 3-0 on the day. He started his run to his latest championship with a pin in 2:40 over Arcadia's Jagger Gray. The defending Presidents' Athletic Conference (PAC) champion at 174 routed the top seed, Bethany's Jonathan Braun, by 13-2 major decision to reach the finals. Orbin made short work of another PAC opponent, W&J's John Starusko, by pinning him in 2:15.
 
This is Orbin's second PAC Wrestler of the Week award, having received the honor on Nov. 11. For a complete look at the latest PAC wrestling release, click here.
