Springfield Catholic's Tyson Riley is the most sought-after college prospect in town

Springfield Catholic's Tyson Riley is one of the rare players whose position is "athlete" by whatever college comes in to visit.

Riley shines on offense as the Fightin' Irish quarterback. He outran defenders on his way to nearly 1,000 rushing yards and 18 touchdowns a season ago

He's also a scary sight for any ballcarrier when he's on defense. The 6-foot-3, 200-pound free safety can track down runners from sideline to sideline.

That's why Riley is being recruited as not only a quarterback but as a safety and a linebacker.
