Riley Herrold brings production and physicality to Missouri State’s defensive front
Herrold profiles as a blue-collar defensive lineman whose value goes beyond box-score flashes: Missouri State lists him as a junior who earned first-team all-district and all-conference honors after posting 116 tackles, 15 tackles for loss, three sacks, and two forced fumbles in a standout prep season, signaling pursuit, disruption, and consistency. That kind of production suggests he can fit a team looking for a high-motor, assignment-sound defender who impacts plays with toughness and activity rather than just size or hype.
