Early life

Orsborn grew up in Round Rock, Texas, the daughter of Steve Orsborn and Michele Fox.

[2] With flag football not yet a varsity sport in Texas, [3] she played basketball and baseball at Meridian High School. [1] She played club flag football for Texas Fury alongside future US teammate Ashlea Klam. [4] She was recruited to play college flag football for the Ottawa Braves under head coach Liz Sowers. [3]

College career

Orsborn jointly led the Ottawa Braves in receptions as a freshman in 2022, catching eight touchdowns while running for five more. [1] She was named first-team All-KCAC as a screen blocker and second-team All-KCAC as a running back. [1] She led the team in combined rushing/receiving yards in the 2022 NAIA championship, helping Ottawa win 24–20 against Thomas University to claim their second consecutive national title, and was named championship MVP. [5] She was named first-team All-KCAC as a utility player as a sophomore in 2023, recording four touchdown catches and one rushing. [1] She was Ottawa's leading receiver in the two-game 2023 NAIA championship series, catching the winning touchdown in the decisive 18–13 rematch win over Thomas to earn her second national title. [6]

Orsborn was named first-team All-KCAC at running back while she caught three touchdowns as a junior in 2024. [1] She had one touchdown in the 21–13 win against Keiser University in the 2024 NAIA championship, [7] winning her third title and being named in the all-tournament team. [1] She caught a career-high ten touchdowns and added three rushing as a senior in 2025, earning first-team All-KCAC honors for the fourth time in four years. [1] After posting two touchdowns in the semifinals against Thomas, [8] she had another two in the 34–20 rematch win over Keiser in the 2025 NAIA championship, helping Ottawa win their fifth straight title and conclude the season with a perfect 23–0 record.

National team career

Orsborn made her debut for the United States national team at the 2023 IFAF Americas Continental Flag Football Championship in Charlotte, North Carolina, defeating Mexico 26–21 in the final.
