veteran safety with NFL-caliber athleticism and run-stopping pop
In the 2024 season, Jordan Riley gave Kansas State a steady, physical presence at safety, finishing with 41 tackles, 2.0 tackles for loss, 1 sack, 3 passes defended, a forced fumble, and a fumble recovery. He stands out for his strong run defense, box versatility, and reliable tackling, plus his athletic testing drew NFL attention after the season. The fit is best for a defense that wants a tough, experienced safety who can play near the line, handle contact, and bring veteran calm without needing the ball production of a pure center-fielder.
