Quincy Riley
Moves between deep coverage and the slot. The six seasons span two programs and three head coaches: Rick Stockstill, Scott Satterfield and Jeff Brohm. That makes two seasons with an honor, the latest All-ACC in 2024. One game to point at: 7 tackles and 2 tackles for loss against Clemson — Week 10, 2024.

What the box score actually says
33 tackles. 9 passes defended. 2 interceptions. 3 TFL.
Counts only, never a rate — splash-event sample sizes this small (interceptions, pass breakups, TFL) are noise as a rate and signal only as a tally.
