Ryland’s ability to get to the quarterback is what really stands out, recording 16 sacks and just one season alone. That ranked third in the country. At 6-foot-3 and 258 pounds, Ryland showcases a ton of upper body strength. In 2024, he recorded 48 total pressures, with nine QB hits and 25 hurries. As a run defender, Ryland is a bit inconsistent. There are times where he isn’t as active with his hands and he’ll get beat in those one-on-one battles. He also has short arms, which can effect him on certain plays against the run. Overall, Ryland is a very exciting player to watch. He’s a true pass rusher who can make noise off the edge. He became the first Hokie since 2005 to record 10 or more sacks in a season. He’s not a very polished run defender, but he is a nice mid-round prospect a team would love to have.
