Riley entered the Transfer Portal a week ago on January 16th.

247Sports and ESPN both ranked Riley as a Top-300 4-Star prospect in the 2020 recruiting class. 247Sports ranked him as the #229 overall player nationally in the 2020 class, the #14 Outside Linebacker, and the #10 player in the state of Alabama.

In 2020 and 2021, Riley played in 22 total games (2 starts), playing in 160 snaps, tallying 23 tackles. In 2022, Riley broke out, starting in 7 of the 11 games, ranking 2nd on the team in tackles, with 65.

This past season, Riley played in 13 games, but only started in 1. He had 32 tackles, 3.5 tackles for loss and 2.5 sacks. His PFF grade of 66.7 was the highest of his career.

Over 4 seasons, Riley played in 46 games (10 starts) for Auburn, tallying 948 snaps.

NC State will head into next season without 2 of their starting Linebackers from 2023, in Payton Wilson and Jaylon Scott. Yes, the Wolfpack returns starter Devon Betty, and Caden Fordham, who actually played more snaps than Betty in 2023, despite being a backup. The Wolfpack has also brought in JUCO Linebacker Wyatt Wright in the 2024 class.

With that being said, I’d love to see what Tony Gibson could do with a 6’5″/242 Linebacker like Riley.
