Ridenour is running back with explosive ability. He measures in at 5’9 175-pounds playing RB/OLB. This previous season, he had 78 carries for 290 yards, 9 receptions for 91 yards, 23 total tackles (20 solo, 3 assisted), with 2 TFL. He displays good athletic ability due to very good acceleration, speed, with good balance, and change of direction. Ridenour has an explosive quick start and uses his very good vision to effortlessly weave through defenders. Very good outside running as well. Once he turns the perimeter, he’ll use his home run speed ability and he is gone. Ridenour has a reliable pass catcher out of the back field. When his QB is in trouble, Ridenour is there for the easy completion. I’m very intrigued to see how he takes this next step in his development!
