Riley Hernandez brings rugged, depth-chart-ready size to Sacramento State’s defensive line
Riley Hernandez is a 6-foot-2, 223-pound defensive lineman who showed he can contribute when healthy, appearing in eight games in 2024 and logging tackles at Idaho State and Montana State after an injury wiped out his 2023 season. His value is in his toughness and developmental upside: he has already been pressed into action before, has experience on the field, and offers the kind of physical profile teams like to mold rather than a finished product. For a roster that needs reliable, flexible trench depth, he looks like a solid fit.
