Chase Ritchie is 6’1 215 OLB/DE that shows good twitch and bend around the edge, as well as physicality in his tackling.  Ritchie is major threat for a sacj on passing downs combining a great get off, bend and twitch to win inside or outside against tackles.  Being such a threat to beat tackles outside, Ritchie’s quickness helps him counter inside with a chop spin or a euro step when OTs overset.  When aligned off the LOS, Ritchie shows great COD and consistently pursuits BCs hard and is a physical tackler that has a knack to cause fumbles with 4 in 2025.  Ritchie shows an ability to drop in zone coverage, play in space, and quickly rally downhill to make the tackle.  I love the passion and edge he plays with.  At the next level I can see him playing at an OLB spot with ability to be a stand up edge on 3rd down, if not at WDE full time. I believe he has the aggressiveness, playmaking ability, and athleticism to play at the D1 level if the right team gives him the opportunity.  Ritchie finished his JR season with 54 TKLs, 5.5 sacks, 4 FFs, and 1 INT.
