He’s originally from Acworth (Ga.) Kennesaw Mountain. A 3-star recruit out of high school, Riley is proof that scouting is hard, especially with relation to how fast a young man can pick up a playbook and produce.

Riley is listed at 6-foot-2 and 202 pounds. It will be interesting to see if he ends up playing more toward the line of scrimmage or if he’s better as a traditional free safety who acts as a centerfielder.
