Did Riley Reiff play college football?
Reiff did play college football at Iowa. He was listed as a three-star defensive end prospect by Rivals.com and was ranked 28th nationally among senior strongside defensive ends.
When it came to recruiting, one of Reiff’s most persistent suitors was Iowa assistant coach Reese Morgan, who also lured former Vikings’ linebacker Chad Greenway to Iowa City back in 2001.
Reiff initially committed to the Hawkeyes in April 2007, while still a junior at Parkston. He later had second thoughts and switched his verbal commitment to Nebraska, indicating that he “pulled the trigger a little too early” with Iowa, but when the Cornhuskers started sinking under the direction of Bill Callahan, Reiff found his way back to the Hawkeyes.
