Naheem Ridore brings verified pass-rush pedigree to Marist’s defensive front
Ridore enters Marist as a freshman defensive lineman with real résumé value: ESPN credited him with 19 tackles, 6 solo stops, 13 assists and 0.5 sacks in 2025, and Marist lists him as the school’s all-time sacks leader from his high school career, plus an All-State and Super 26 Team selection. His appeal is disruption and toughness—he also competed in wrestling and rugby, which fits a physical, high-motor trench player. For a team, he looks like a developmental DL with proven production and a competitive edge, not just a size-and-potential flyer.
