Riley is one of the top linebackers in the state and checks into our rankings after coming off a stellar Junior season and very strong senior year for the Vikings. He is atop the leaderboards in multiple categories through the midway point of the year and is everywhere on the field sideline to sideline. Riley shows he can close quickly and tackles well in space, plays with a quick trigger and is always around the ball making plays backside and redirecting with good angles and change of direction. He is a fleet footed linebacker that can weave through traffic on his way to the backfield and can provide a pass rush as well with good timing and bend/active hands around the corner. Riley will be a late steal and get plenty of college attention after his final season comes to a close.

Riley is one of the top sack leaders across the state through three weeks and is a active rusher that can play anywhere along the front and is a twitched up and quick pass rusher that uses his size and speed to get underneath blockers and collapse the pocket quickly. He redirects quickly in the open field, shows he can play stout and shock and shed in the run game as well and is a technically sound player off the edge that despite being undersized is a complete nightmare to deal with. Through the first few weeks of play Riley has erupted for 5.5 sacks and 11 TFL’s so far and should be leading the state in both categories to this point.
