Matt Riley, who spent nearly 40 years as a student-athlete and athletic department staff member at MTSU, passed away on Thursday at the age of 58.
Funeral and visitation arrangements will be announced later.
Riley spent 29 years working at his alma mater. He returned to Murfreesboro in 1993 to serve as a strength coach after two-year stints at both Tennessee Tech and Southern Miss, and then was elevated to associate AD of strength of conditioning in 2007. He served in that role for 11 years before transitioning to a position in the MT Varsity Club and Blue Raiders Hall of Fame.
