Boise State roster countdown 2019: Day 89, Connor Riddle

The 2019 Boise State football team is no joke, but it does have a couple Riddles. (ba dum tishhhhh)

Stats

Height: 6’1”

Weight: 194lbs

High School: Timberline High School (Boise, ID)

How’d he get to The Blue^TM?

Connor walked for his graduation in 2018 at Timberline, and then walked-on at Boise State. Some might insinuate he had some inside connections being related to a coach, but anybody who’s ever played for their dad knows you gotta earn it twice as hard.

In high school, Connor actually played both ways, even being honored as 1st Team All-SIC Defensive Back and 2nd Team All-SIC Wide Receiver. In college he opted for the offensive side of the ball.

Nickname

”Con Air”

Look-alike

If you squint a bit, he’s not far off from Christoph Kramer, a football midfielder for the German national team.

Career highlights

Connor accumulated no stats in 2018, but has a pretty legit highlight reel from high school.

2019 Prospectus

As mentioned many times before, BSU’s wide receiver depth is just nutty. However, an interesting twist is that Connor returned a lot of kicks in high school. There’s some potential that he might get slotted into special teams should the need arise, but we’d anticipate more of that kind of action once he’s a super-sophomore. Just when (and if) son-of-Kent plays will be the answer to at least one Riddle (second ba-dum-tsssh).

Is he on Twitter?

Yes he is! He averages about 1.5 tweets per month, but they’re usually pretty good.

Completely made up fact

Connor has been banned from all Boise-area Red Robin restaurants. The details are muddy, but he reportedly attempted to pull the open-to-close run of “bottomless” fries and root beer floats, and got booted sometime during dinner rush.
