Johnny Riley brings rangy, high-upside linebacker energy to Dartmouth’s front seven
In the 2026 season, Johnny Riley is positioned as a junior linebacker for Dartmouth at 6-2, 215, and reports from the spring game say he looked like a front-seven wrecking ball with a clear leadership trajectory. He’s a good fit if you want an athletic, multi-sport defender with football pedigree, intelligence, and upside rather than a finished product; Dartmouth lists him as a 2023 Super 100 All-State and first-team all-division performer, and the school notes he enjoys chess and poker, which fits the “think fast, play fast” profile.
