Younger Ridley talks first two Big Five offers
Class of 2016 Coconut Creek (Fla.) Monarch wide receiver Cavin Ridley's name sounds eerily similar to his five-star brother Calvin, and schools are starting to notice that there is a lot of similarities in their games as well.
The 6-foot-1, 190-pound Ridley already has offers from Louisville and Miami and said both schools are serious in their pursuit.

"Since they offered me Miami has come to my school a few times to watch me practice," Ridley said. "I'm liking their interest. I like them a lot. I didn't necessarily grow up a fan but I have watched them closely and seen the guys they've been able to put into the NFL and that's something I like."
Louisville is already working to sell Ridley on the Florida pipeline that has helped the new ACC school have success over recent years.
"They told me that they have a lot of guys coming from down here," Ridley said. "The new coaches said they're gong to continue to recruit strong down here so they want me to join them."
With his older brother already committed to Alabama, it would seem to reason that it's only a matter of time before the Tide start targeting the younger Ridley as well. However, he said that hasn't happened yet.
"They haven't started recruiting me yet but I want to get up there for a visit," Ridley said. "I missed the trip up there when my brother committed because I had to work but I think we're going back again next month."
