Expert Analysis
Paul Gregorian | Prep Redzone Scout
Rich is one of the more explosive play makers across Idaho and a no-brainer next level player that should be closing in on his first offer soon. He is a dynamic receiver that can create separation downfield and has natural hands in traffic while able to go up and get the ball when making contested catches. He is a patient route runner that knows how to beat man/zone coverage and quickly knifes up field after the catch while able to make defenders miss in space. He excels once in the open field and has big play abilities and is a twitchy play maker that is poised for a huge senior season and should draw plenty of D3+ interest.

Rich checks into our rankings just inside the top five at his position and is a twitchy slot receiver that is a precise route runner and has consistent hands down field. Rich is quick in and out of his breaks and does a good job at baiting defenders before breaking and can stretch the field vertically over the top. He has the ability to make defenders miss with the ball in his hands in the open field and shows big play abilities when left alone in man coverage. He understands zone coverage and when to settle, and is a very productive offensive weapon for Boise. He is another no brainer D1+ caliber prospect that should draw college attention through his Senior year.

Rich is a no brainer top playmaker across the state of Idaho, and is a very precise run runner with strong hands, a big catch radius and good tracking abilities over the top. He is twitchy and explosive with the ball in his hands that does a nice job knifing upfield, making defenders miss in the open and has a third level gear in the clear. Rich also shows he can stretch the field over the top and go up and win on 50/50 balls as well. He should start to draw college interest/potential offers this off-season and is a no brainer next level guy with two years still left of his prep career.
