Position: WR
Best Games: Appearances against Holy Cross and Georgetown.
Coach Hunt on Risley: "Risley is another one of those guys who you really commend. His sophomore year, he played quite a bit. Then he had some injury issues and has come back to play special teams for us. He comes to practice every day looking to make others better. He knows his role, he is comfortable in it and he excels in it. If we have a good week defensively, it's because he was giving our defensive backs a great look. That sometimes gets overlooked in importance when it comes to having a good football team. If you don't have guys who push your kids in practice, they're not going to be ready for the game. He does a great job of simulating what we are going to see. Any success we have against receivers, a lot of it goes to him."
