I think he'll start early.

Key, bower, Beckwith, and White will finish it off.

Yes, Expect Beckwith and Riley to line up at MLB's with White as next man up in the rotation.

Just picked the heaviest four guys?

Duke Riley will start in game 1, and he'll start in the national championship game. And you're going to be very proud of him.

While not huge, he's bigger than most realize at 230 pounds. I expect him to have similar production to Deion Jones.

Duke leaves a lot to be desired on the field. I'm hoping he can put on some good weight this offseason

Uhh what?

Riley has never been in contention to be a starter and has played sparingly on D. And when he was in the game, he did a good job and flashed his ability and athleticism. Don't get how you can say he "leaves a lot to be desired on the field" when he hasn't been on the field that much and when he was on the field, he did a solid job.

Duke is a good fit in Arandas D and supposedly Aranda is a fan of his already. Plus, when it's an obvious pass situation, Riley can be the 1 ILB on the field which allows us to move KB around and let him rush the passer. Good complement next to KB with his athleticism and cover skills.

Don't get me wrong, I'm excited about Devin White and can't wait to see what he can do on the field. But I expect Riley to be he man next to KB and believe he has a fine season for us.

Well he kind of is starting. Perfect ILB to complement Beckwith. Hope hes the Deion/Kwon type where he's very speedy to the ball.

He's the same weight as Deion jones and heavier than Kwon was.

Probably, but I wouldn't doubt White taking it from him during the season. You can't teach 6' 240 running a 4.5

I'm looking forward to see how Riley does this year.

I'm guessing Beckwith, Riley and Alexander would be the starters.

Im guessing White is gonna be in a lot during obvious run situations... Let him just bull rush the f towards the line and hit the first thing he sees in the opposing color.

He might start at the beginning of the season, but I would guess that Devin White will take his spot after a few games.
