Blake Riley brings experienced, trench-tested depth to Georgia Southern
In the 2012 season, Blake Riley offered Georgia Southern a sturdy interior presence at **defensive tackle**, starting all 14 games and finishing with 45 tackles while flashing disruptive production with **15 sacks over his last stretch**, a strong sign of pass-rush impact from the middle of the line.[1] At 6-1 and 283 pounds, he profiles as a physical, battle-tested lineman whose value goes beyond box-score stats: dependable snap-to-snap effort, proven durability, and the kind of interior toughness teams want when they need someone to hold the point and create pressure.[1][2]
