The second Malvern Prep prospect on the short list of promising 2028s. The first was mentioned in a piece released yesterday, including sophomore Adam Briggs Adam Briggs 6'4" | 285 lbs | OL/DL Malvern Prep | 2028 State PA . Now we shed light on ’28 RB Julius Riddick Julius Riddick 5'10" | 200 lbs | RB Malvern Prep | 2028 State PA . 5’10, 200 pounds, a great weight for an underclassman, he looks to be carrying it well too, this via clips on X. 4.32 GPA, ranked as a Top 50 sophomore prospect currently, up nearly 40-50 spots since our post-season update this past January.

Looks comfortable running off-tackle in 10 personnel sets. Works well with space in front of him. Tape shows Riddick has a clear understanding of pacing, when to throttle down to set up blocks downfield or when to step on the gas behind the LOS to press a hole/gap. The second rep on his freshman tape gives coaches a good idea of the contact balance and leg drive the 200-pound sophomore back brings with each rep. Active in the screen game. Riddick already has a nose for the endzone. A ton of young backs show promise underneath ten yards, yet Riddick is already proving that he has the vision/acceleration combo to turn first downs into touchdowns. Excited to see him work in person this Fall.

A powerful, battering ram of a Running Back who made a habit out of running defenders over in the hole, yet has very agile feet for his size and build.

Julius Riddick Julius Riddick 5'10" | 200 lbs | RB Malvern Prep | 2028 State PA is a physical and tough running back. He does a good job of reading his blocks and then hitting the hole. He rarely goes down after one tackler tries to tackle him. He also has a good burst and quickness. Then when he gets into the open field he shows good speed. Riddick shows a good ability to play running back at a high level.

Riddick is a prospect I first got eyes on last spring at a NextGen camp in Delaware. His muscular build and bowling ball running style caught my eye immediately and I was very surprised when he wasn’t selected to attend The Show by NextGen this past July. Keeping an eye on him over the last six months, he looks better than ever. Speaking with his father, Riddick is now up to 5-foot-9 and 195 pounds–two inches and 20 pounds since I last got verified information on him. While I can’t verify just how much he gained in size without official measurements, he has noticeably increased his speed and lateral agility. He’s much faster and smoother going through bag drills and absolutely has more muscle mass, so dropping that shoulder should continue to not be an issue. He’s already visited a number of Pennsylvania’s top private school programs and will likely be going that route come next year.
