Verona's Riggio Coming to Hobart

It appears as though we'll be seeing several updates this week on the incoming Hobart Football Class of 2025.

Yesterday, Verona HS (NJ) SR RB and team captain Frank Riggio announced on twitter that he plans to "further [his] academic and athletic career at Hobart College."

A real get by the Statesmen coaching class, Riggio has rushed for over 3,200 in his HS career scoring 53 TDs. He also starred at SS for the "Hillbillies", collecting 2 INTs in his final season.

A shifty, north-south runner, Riggio has speed and strength to repel would be tacklers. You can see his highlight reel here.

A strong student as well, apparently Riggio chose Hobart over schools like Rice and Trinity, according to this article from NJ.com

All in all, it sounds like the Statesmen have found a real gem in Riggio. I, for one, am looking forward to seeing how he develops over the next four years at Hobart.

Thanks as always for reading and go 'Bart!

PS - don't forget the SAA / Day of Donors is coming up on 2/24.
