MSU's Kenny Ridley Named to CFPA Preseason Watch List
BALTIMORE, Maryland -- Morgan State junior Kenny Ridley (Hillside, N.J./Hillside) was one of three defensive backs from the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference selected to the College Football Performance Awards preseason watch list. The CFPA announced the defensive backs list on Monday (June 11) as part of its weekly position announcement this summer.
Ridley led the Bears with four (MEAC ranked T-2nd) of the team's 12 interceptions (MEAC ranked No. 6th) last year while breaking up six passes. He recorded a personal-high 42 tackles playing in all 11 games and recorded three tackles for a loss.
Ridley is one of three returning starters in the secondary, and is hungry to improve upon last season's accomplishments.
The goal of the CFPA, as it states on its website, is to provide the most scientifically rigorous criteria in college football. Recipients are selected exclusively based upon objective scientific rankings of the extent to which individual players increase the overall effectiveness of their teams.
