About Riley
Expert Analysis
Matt Morrow | Prep Redzone Scout
Riley provides balance to a powerful Green Wave running game with electric speed on the outside in the passing game. Riley shows he can win against corners and safeties in 1 on 1 coverage, something that he sees a good bit with the way defenses play against Ashbrook. I think Riley can be successful on the outside or even in the slot on the next level, because there’s a lot of room to grow his game. The routes that Riley runs on a regular basis on his highlights are good, and he shows good technique in closing the cushion on corners and stacking them to win deep passes down the field. I’m interested to see how well Riley takes coaching in a showcase setting and can apply those things. If he shows well, he should start to gain some college interest this offseason.

Hicks has positional versatility, as he can play multiple spots on the offense. He’s best used as a shifty gadget guy, racking up yards after the catch on screens and jet sweeps. That’s where his running back skillset comes in, as he gets downhill in a hurry and picks up positive yardage on a consistent basis. Let’s see how he develops as a complete route-runner, because I like his game.
