<strong>DE Isiah Chala, 2023</strong>
Chala is one of the more talented pass rushers the Northern California region has to offer and will be playing at the power five level by the time it’s all said and done. Holding offers from Cal, Idaho and NAU, it will not be long until other P5 schools offer the talented 2023 prospect. He is violent and explosive off the ball with a variety if pass rush moves and uses his length well against the run when locking out blockers and keeping them off his chest. Still raw and developing, he will only continue to pack on more weight and has the physical tools to be a high upside player in college.
<strong>WR/DB Zachary Jones, 2023</strong>
Jones is one of many outside skill position weapons that Riordan will have in 2022. He is explosive with downfield speed and has the ability to get over safeties and stretch the field. On film, he also shows he is twitchy in the short area while able to also take underneath routes and make defenders miss in tight windows while showing strong hands and solid ball location skills from off-platform body positions. Jones is a very under-rated prospect that should gather interest through his Senior year as he is a no brainer next level impact player.
<strong>OL Daniel Keady, 2025</strong>
Transferring from El Cerrito this year, Keady is a interior mauler that excels when blocking in the short area and will only improve upon his game as he continues to transform his weight and progress in the weight room. He is one of the better 2025 offensive guards across the Bay Area and will be a big piece in what should be a very explosive offense for Riordan in 2022.
<strong>TE/LB Jacob Kleppin, 2023</strong>
Kleppin is one of the more active outside linebackers across the Bay Area and can do multiple different things when coming off the edge or dropping in coverage and covering backs and tight ends. He is fluid in space with a quick trigger and strong open field tackling abilities while seemingly always around the ball. When coming off the edge, he can bend and gets vertical in a hurry while showing heavy hands against the run and is a high motor and tough kid.
<strong>QB Tobey Weydemuller, 2024</strong>
Transferring from cross town SI this season, the 2024 prospect is very athletic in the pocket while showing escapability and a strong pocket presence when feeling pressure off the edge and is able to shake off tacklers and still deliver the ball downfield. Having a quick release, he can fit the ball into tight windows intermediately while not afraid to push it downfield and throw his receivers open. Also a under-rated runner, he should be a force on the ground game as well as he has a strong lower body and a natural feel for the open field.
