RIVERA RAIDERS

Coach: Johnny Garza. Lettermen R/L: 21/20.
Starters returning 0/D: 5/7
2024: 2-8/1-7 district.

Players to watch: QB Ivan Rodriguez (5-10, 165, 4.7), WR Alex Garza (5-5, 145, 4.7), RB Oliver De La Garza (6-0, 220, 4.8), DL Juan Carlos Saucedo (6-1, 210, 4.8), LB Nathan Eguia (5-9, 185, 4.8), DB Javi Lopez (5-10, 175, 4.8). Top juniors: RB/LB Brandon Guerra (5-9, 185, 4.7), WR/DB Anthony Saucedo (6-1, 175, 4.8). Top sophomore: RB/LB Jorge Garcia (5-8,150,4.9).

Other prospects: OL Gael Payan, WR Hunter Espinosa, OL Oziel Garza, DL Carlos Trevino, LB Issac Laredo, DL Henry Jones, DL Raymond Borrego, QB/RB Arturo Cuellar.

2025 notes: It's been 10 years since Rivera's last postseason appearance and the Raiders will have their work cut out for them. QB Rodriguez leads the spread offense that features WR Garza and WR/DB Saucedo as the team's top perimeter threats. RB De La Garza has the size and speed to be a workhorse back running behind seven starters and spearheaded by LB Eguia (5 sacks). DL Saucedo (5 sacks) is speedy and tough to block in Rivera's multiple fronts, while DB Lopez provides experience in the secondary at strong safety RB/LB Guerra and RB/LB Garcia are also expected to contribute as two-way players.
