Riyadh Ananda brings veteran size and blocker-first value at tight end for Central Arkansas
In the 2020 season, Riyadh Ananda logged 2 catches for 11 yards after transitioning from offensive line to tight end, and his listed frame at 6-foot-3, 230 pounds fits a physical, blocking-heavy role rather than a pure pass-catcher. His selling point is versatility: he understands line play, can execute in-line duties, and gives a staff a tough, experienced option who won’t flinch in traffic. For a team needing a dependable, team-first tight end who can help in the run game and occasional short-area passing, he’s a fit; for a downfield mismatch hunter, not as much.
