Riverside Military Academy will have an aggressive defense built on speed and bolstered by size, according to first-year head coach Kelly Davis. Davis’ line will be led this season by rising juniors Emmanuel McNeil and Elijah Watson, who both attracted interest from the University of Louisville after attending a recent on-campus showcase in Kentucky. McNeil (6-foot-4, 280 pounds) picked up a verbal offer from Todd Grantham, the Cardinals’ defensive coordinator, while Watson “turned heads” in Louisville, according to Davis. “(Grantham) liked what he had seen on tape of them,” said Davis, who took over as Riverside’s head coach following Gary Downs’ departure for East Tennessee State University.
