Dave Rivas gives Illinois State a compact, disruptive DL body with proven backfield production
Rivas, a 6-3, 230-pound defensive lineman for Illinois State, profiles as a high-energy interior defender with a history of making plays in the backfield and forcing turnovers in high school, where he logged 79 tackles, 14 sacks and 3 forced fumbles; at the college level, public roster pages list him on the Redbirds' defensive line, but no season statistics are currently available, so his value is more about projection, toughness and fit than box-score output right now[2][7].
