______________________
Words from the Coach:
“Ryker is another player who plays a physical brand of football. Doesn’t matter if he is on offense or defense, he is gonna deliver a boom on contact. The greatest attribute of Ryker is a true sideline to sideline LB. He can make plays in the box, but has that speed to chase things down to the sidelines. On offense, he is a homerun threat every time he touches the ball, and will fight for extra yards after contact. With his huge Junior season, Ryker’s recruitment opened up big time, with him committing to play at Princeton next fall.”
