Riva: "I don’t wish what we had to go through on any other high school kid."
Enjoyed catching up with former UW right tackle Ben Riva, who has made a quick and smooth transition to life after football. He won’t live out an erstwhile dream of playing in the NFL, but he’s on a new path to success in another competitive, chaotic venture.
Riva, who has lost 65 pounds since January’s Cactus Bowl, has already secured a job at Jones Trading in San Francisco and is scheduled next month to take his final federal exam to become a stockbroker.
