Evaluation: A quick, twitchy receiver who plays fast and has the versatility to play on the outside, slot, and returner. A route-running technician who runs the entire tree. He has the football intelligence to exploit soft spots in zone coverage. He catches the ball with sticky hands and has elite yards after the catch, turning short gains into big, explosive plays. An added bonus is that he is a willing perimeter blocker, though he needs to keep his hands inside. As a returner, he sees the lanes develop with spatial awareness and vision. However, he needs to work on getting his elbows inside when fielding kicks.

, a promising WR/DB from St. John’s Prep (Massachusetts), has showcased significant growth from last season to this season, currently ranked by Prep Redzone New England scouts. Standing at 6’0″ and weighing 185 pounds, Riley is an explosive playmaker with an advanced understanding of route running for a sophomore. His highlight film reveals impressive agility and acceleration, indicating a natural talent for creating separation from defenders.
Despite his strengths, there are areas for improvement. To enhance his game, Riley should focus on, if he is not already, increasing his top-end speed and refining his intermediate route running. Interestingly, his 2025 season game film suggests that he operates at a higher speed than his testing scores reflect and what we observed last year, which may imply dedicated efforts in speed training since our previous in-person evaluation.
To further enhance his performance and attract the attention of college programs which is likelyh to happen, it is recommended that Riley continue his proven offseason Speed and Wide Receiver Training Program. This strategic move will sharpen his skills and boost his athletic profile, making him a stronger candidate for college recruitment in the coming years. Overall, Riley demonstrates strong potential as an emerging talent and warrants tracking.

– PRZ Scouts observed Rilley perform at a showcase in May 2024. ‘Selvais” impressed scouts and I with his quickness, speed, and athleticism. He is young but understands the route tree, and he is already well-versed and advanced in technique. Selvais is on track and projected to be a slot-type WR at the college level. This is based on the early skills he displays and the size he already boasts as a freshman.
