Welcome to the Palindrome Thunderdome. 44 days until kickoff and look at that, a Bronco with those same digits on his jersey—Riley Whimpey.
#44, Riley Whimpey, Sophomore, LB
Height: 6’1” (-1)
Weight: 207 lbs (-3)
High School: San Clemente High School, San Clemente, CA
How’d he get to the Blue™?
Whimpey initially signed with the Broncos in 2015, but opted to serve a two-year church mission before joining the squad ala Kekoa Nawahine (and Darren Lee etc). In high school, Whimpey was a three-star recruit per Scout.com and was rated the #15 in all of California and #24 in the West Region at OLB.
