Expert Analysis
Jared Luginbill | Prep Redzone Scout
Riley, who’s committed to Clemson, is an uber athletic linebacker who can be a playmaker in either the run or the pass games. When you watch him on defense you see a player who covers a ton of ground. He has fluid hips and is smooth in his change of direction and is able to get depth and cover in space. In the run game he’s rangy and a strong tackler tackler. Reilly possess the size, length, and athleticism that Power 4’s so desperately need at the linebacker position in the passing game because he has the quickness and athleticism to match up against receivers in the pass game while having the size and strength to matchup versus tight ends an strong player versus the run.

: the St. Xavier linebacker had two blocked punts, one forced fumble, one interception, one pass breakup and nine total tackles in a 17-14 win over a talented Trinity squad. Reilly is a very fast and physical player who really pops on film. The Wisconsin commit is almost certainly going to be a big-time player at the college level.

is an excellent safety prospect and the Northwestern staff has plenty of reasons to be excited about his potential. What really struck me about Reilly is his ball skills: he is 6-foot-3, very athletic, and can get full extension when breaking up passes. Flashes edge speed on punt returns, flies to the ball and has great range.

Reilly is a versatile safety from Cincinnati football powerhouse Saint Xavier. Brayden is a defender who can line up in the defensive backfield in coverage or in the box. One thing will always be true regardless of where he lines up and that is the physicality and edge he plays with. He is comfortable covering in space and he loves to throw his body around in the run game. Brayden is committed to play linebacker at Northwestern.

Read EvaluationMike Bey | Prep Redzone Scout
Brayden had a very good Sophomore season in 2023. He made 38 tkl and had 1.5 Sacks, 6 PD and 4 INT. His great play helped the St. Xavier Bombers to a 7-win season where they advanced to the 2nd round of the playoffs and held opposing offenses to 14.9 points per game. He plays as a FS and CB. Against the run, he quickly reads run/pass, plays with good leverage and delivers a nice form tackle behind the LOS for a TFL. Against the pass, he does a great job of reading the QB and times his hands well as he high points the ball and comes down with an INT.
