Riley

Riley brings a ton of experience to the table having played six years of college football between Middle Tennessee State and Louisville. His best season came in 2023, where he recorded 49 total tackles, 10 pass deflections, and three interceptions. Riley plays physical and has good ball skills. In 2024, Riley allowed just a 36-percent completion rate and an exceptional 85.3 coverage grade. He plays physically but has average makeup speed. Though athletic, he lacks the size for your prototypical NFL corner standing at 5-foot-11 and 194 pounds. He also is a bit of an inconsistent tackler having recorded a troubling 25.6-percent missed tackle rate last year. There are times where he lacks the upper body strength to utilize leverage against more polished route runners, which causes separation. Riley’s size could be a concern at the next level, as he could struggle against bigger receivers.

Riley (6'0/181) entered the transfer portal last week, and has received several offers since hitting the portal. The former three-star DB from the 2019 recruiting class had a career-year for the Blue Raiders in 2021, totaling 37 tackles, seven pass breakups and five interceptions per PFF.com. Per Riley’s Twitter account, he has received offers from Stephen F. Austin, Louisiana Tech, Florida Atlantic, UTSA, Appalachian State, Illinois, Tennessee, Mississippi State and West Virginia, among other programs. Riley has turned into a decent cover corner, and has seven interceptions over the last two seasons.
