continues to be underrated and will provide good depth early on for a roster. Riggs is a threat post-catch, immediately gets upfield, and will make defenders miss in space. Sure-handed and a smooth route-runner. Can adjust mid-route and high point the football effectively.

Austin has taken a major leap from his Junior season as he currently leads the state of Arkansas in receiving yards. Riggs is a threat post-catch, immediately gets upfield and will make defenders miss in space. Sure-handed and a smooth route-runner. Can adjust mid-route and high point the football effectively. He gives an offense a wide range of play calling.

is highly underrated. He dominated throughout 2024 and impressed us at our showcase in January. I’m confident he will perform well again on Sunday. He’s a personal favorite of mine at the wide receiver position, and I strongly recommend adding him to your recruiting board. Riggs displays a quick release due to his solid acceleration and foot quickness off the line of scrimmage, which allows him to eat up space quickly. He’s a smooth route runner with solid leverage awareness, enabling him to find the soft spots between zone defenders. He shows good hand-eye coordination, body control, and balance, as well as strong hands for catching the ball in contested situations or adjusting mid-route. Additionally, he can elevate to secure the jump ball in one-on-one matchups, making him a genuine red zone threat. Riggs possesses an extensive route tree, which can enhance your offense schematically.
