Jalen Rivers

Jalen Rivers is a physically imposing figure, and physically dominant feature on successful offensive lines that paved the way for the successes of several top collegiate prospects and players. At Oakleaf High School, Rivers paved the way for 4-star running back Keshawn King (Virginia Tech) and Oakleaf’s all time passing leader Walter Simmons III ( ECU/BCU). In college, Rivers was the bookend protecting the ACC Player of the Year and Heisman Finalist Cam Ward. The common denominator for them all has been Jalen Rivers. – Andre’ Ellis
