Expert Analysis
Paul Gregorian | Prep Redzone Scout
Riley is another key piece to this loaded Frontier front and has seen his recruitment start to take off after his Sophomore year last Fall. He is heavy handed, wins with leverage and immediate knock-back and shows he can split double teams and eat blocks without giving up ground. Riley can play anywhere along the defensive front but projects as a true interior 0-3 tech in college and will only continue to grow and develop as a pass rusher over the next two years. Look for Riley to collect plenty of post-season accolades and help lead Frontier to another Norcal title run in 2025.

Riley is a true plug in the middle of the Frontier defensive line and is another prospect that offers good interior length. He is a dominant run defender that does a good job quickly resetting the line of scrimmage and getting into the backfield in a hurry through or around blockers. He is explosive of the ball with a violent shed while able to eat double teams and drive blocks with ease. Still developing as a pass rusher, he is a high motor prospect that does a good job transferring speed to power inside and moves well laterally in the short area. He should be drawing plenty of FCS+ interest over the next two seasons.
