About Andrew
Expert Analysis
Brendan Mankarious | Prep Redzone Scout
The Pequannock Panthers have a nice toy to play with on both the offensive and defensive side of the ball. Coming in at 6’1 and 181lbs is DB/WR Andrew Rivera Andrew Rivera 6'1" | 160 lbs | DB Pequannock | 2024 NJ . Statistically, Rivera was only credited with 1 interception on the season, but his tape shows that he was much more active than that. Rivera also plays basketball for the Panthers.
Rivera is often rolled down to the defense’s second level. He shows the passion and desire to want to pursue and make every single tackle as quickly as possible. He sheds blocks effectively en route to the ball carrier. When Rivera cannot get off of a block, he manages to get his gap-arm free and either impede the ball carriers progress or make the tackle himself. As a receiver he does a nice job pushing up field, creating a cushion, and then coming back to the ball for a quick pitch-and-catch on the curl. He also comes up victorious when playing jump balls. From a defensive perspective, he should look to keep his feet moving through contact for immediate stops.
What I enjoy most about Rivera is how excited he is to be playing the game of football. He is constantly cheering, clapping, and rooting after plays. His enthusiasm is contagious and acts like a tinder to the rest of the team.
