Riley Tolsma

Riley is a great sleeper prospect in the 2020 recruiting class. He has excellent combination of size, speed, athleticism, toughness, and strength for his position. He can play inside and outside linebacker. He has the range and hustle to chase down opposing running backs before they turn up field and takes good angles between the tackles to make plays behind the line of scrimmage. He makes good presnap reads to get to action quickly. He will fill a gap with power and a willingness to blow up lead blockers and has the agility to then make the tackle. He proved to be a reliable run stopper in short yardage and goal line situations. He was successful dropping back into coverage and can change directions fluidly to break up passes and pick balls off. He goes to a medium size school on the west side of the state and they get overlooked at times. This kid has the measurables and the film to be considered as a Group 5 prospect and a lock for a Division 1AA school.
