Depth Chart Overview
Riley was listed as Auburn’s third-string tight end on Auburn’s initial depth chart but he could certainly move up due to his ability to be a threat in the receiving game and blocking. While that’s possible, it seems more likely that he is someone who could be set to make a push to start in the 2024 season and moving forward.
