Khalani Riddick brings every-down reliability to UC Davis’ secondary
In the 2025 season, Khalani Riddick was a true tone-setter for UC Davis, starting all 13 games and finishing with 71 tackles, 51 solo stops, and 8 passes defended, the kind of production that signals both range and consistency in the defensive backfield.[1] He stands out less as a splash-play merchant than as a dependable, physical, assignment-sound defender who stays on the field and helps stabilize a secondary — a strong fit for a team needing a steady, high-IQ DB who can tackle and compete every week.[1][2]
