Riddle is making summer plans

Frederick (Md.) Linganore running back Joe Riddle claims one scholarship at this time. The 6-foot-2, 200-pounder is getting plenty of other colleges interested and is starting to work out his summer camp plans.

"Cincinnati is still my only offer right now," he said. "Cincinnati is awesome. I went up two weeks ago during spring break on a visit, but I'm still looking for the right fit.

"I really like Cincinnati though, it's my top school right now. I love the coaches and all the players were really nice. I loved it there, I like the offense they run, it's a spread offense and I feel like I could fit into that really well. It surprised me how big of a school it is, they put out a lot of good players."

Clearly other colleges are interested in Riddle too.

"Maryland, Pittsburgh, Connecticut, Wisconsin, Michigan State, Penn State, Georgia Tech, NC State, Kansas State and Miami have looked," he said. "Most of them just are saying come down to camp. A lot of them really like me a lot, they like my size and speed, but want me to come down to camp to get the offers."

Riddle confirmed camps are on the schedule.

"I think I'm going to go to a couple camps, but not all of them," he said. "I'm going to go to the schools that are most interested in me and I'm most interested in. I want to commit somewhere before the season."

Is there a definite camp or two on schedule?

"Right now I think I'll definitely camp at Maryland and probably Pittsburgh."

Meanwhile, is the tailback hoping to hear from anyone else?

"I'd love to hear from South Carolina and Tennessee," he said. "I really like those teams and have been down there to see the campuses and it would be really great to hear from them."

Riddle posted a big junior season that saw him earn all-conference honors while rushing for just over 1,000-yards and 14 touchdowns while averaging 8.0-yards per carry.
