Ryder is a hybrid LB/DB prospect that I first got my eyes on last season during the 2022 season and ever since then, this kid has trended upwards with his elusiveness with his skillsets. He’s attained even more strength with his hands with his shedding ability, which is one the key skillsets he showed off at the UND Flagship Camp. I also liked the growth of vision Ryder showed off in Grand Forks, as it’s clear that this kid has gotten much more instinctive since last fall in my eyes. Ryder certainly plays with much more game speed than his measurables and testing numbers will show you, although he has shown improvement camp after camp I have seen this summer with his testing.

Like Wyatt, Vylasek is best when attacking the line of scrimmage on the edge. He is quick off the ball but is disciplined when he attacks. The soon-to-be junior makes sure he keeps his outside contain responsibilities while still attacking. He does a great job adjusting his path when he comes in wide and quickly flattens out to come down the line of scrimmage to make plays between the tackles. He seemed to have a primary job of coming hard off the edge. Seeing how his role expands in the next couple of seasons will be interesting.
