Ryan Eldridge’s frame and upside make him a true developmental tackle for Ball State
Ryan Eldridge is a 6-foot-7, 289-pound redshirt freshman offensive lineman from Goshen, Indiana, giving Ball State a long, athletic build with tackle-level upside rather than a finished product. His value is in projection: Ball State lists him as athletic for his size, and his background includes both football and basketball, plus he battled through an injury-affected junior season in high school. That mix of length, mobility, and resilience makes him a sensible fit for a program willing to develop talent over time.
