Ball-hawking veteran safety with proven turnover juice
Ryan Richards Jr. has a legitimate takeaway reputation for Robert Morris: in the 2015 season opener, he snagged two interceptions, and later 2017 coverage notes credited him as the secondary’s leader with 39 tackles, 27 solo, 1.5 sacks, two fumble recoveries and three pass breakups. That profile screams instinctive, physical DB who can diagnose quickly, attack the ball and make open-field plays. He also brings captain-like credibility—his high-school résumé included co-captain duties and over 100 tackles—so he looks like a fit for a staff that values toughness, experience and a defender who lives around the football.
