Auburn Transfer Linebacker Cam Riley Commits to NC State!

NC State just picked up a massive commitment from Auburn Transfer Linebacker Cam Riley (6’5″/242). Riley took an Official Visit to NC State on the last weekend of January along with his Auburn teammate Donnovan Kaufman (Safety), who committed to NC State on February 5th.

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.

After losing Payton Wilson and Jaylon Scott, adding Riley to the Tony Gibson’s Linebacker room is a huge addition.
