Trey Ridley is the kind of safety coaches love: sturdy, active, and trending up in WSU’s backend
In the 2025 season, Trey Ridley appeared in all 13 games for Washington State, mainly on special teams, and finished with three tackles after arriving as a transfer from South Dakota State; that’s not headline-grabbing production yet, but it does show trust, durability, and a role in the program’s weekly grind. At 6-foot-1 and about 194-202 pounds, he brings safety size, a redshirt-sophomore frame, and enough versatility to stay in the mix for a wide-open 2026 secondary. The fit? Solid if your team wants a physical, assignment-sound defensive back with developmental upside and special-teams value, not a finished product trying to be the star.
