proven, award-level anchor at center for Lamar
Ripley is a senior offensive lineman for Lamar who has already earned two Second-Team All-Southland Conference selections and started 23 games in his Cardinals career. In 2024, he started every game at center and was part of an offensive front that helped Lamar produce the Southland’s leading rusher and the nation’s eighth-leading rusher, which is the kind of quiet, high-value impact coaches love. His calling card is reliability: sturdy size, experience, and consistency in the middle, making him a strong fit for teams that want an established interior line presence rather than a developmental project.
