Kevin Riley brings versatile, local-flavor value to Alabama’s backfield
In the 2025 season, Alabama RB Kevin Riley showed he can matter as both a runner and receiver, finishing with 59 carries for 224 rushing yards, 19 catches for 176 receiving yards, and 3 total touchdowns[2][5][10]. At 5-foot-11 and about 198 pounds, he’s a compact, active back with enough burst to create chunk plays and enough hands to stay on the field in passing situations[2][3][14]. He was a four-star, top-100 caliber recruit out of Tuscaloosa County, and the buzz around him is simple: he’s a hometown competitor with enough two-way utility to fit a modern, flexible offense[6][11][14].
