Magnus Rikiya (born April 4th, 2013) is an American Football Defensive Tackle who played high school football at Fordyce and played college football for the Washington Huskies and has declared for the DSFL draft.

Early years

Magnus Rikiya was born in Osceola, Arkansas, but grew up on the other side of the state in Sparkman, Arkansas. There he attended Fordyce High School where he was a standout both as an offensive guard and defensive tackle for the football team despite not having played any football previously. During his time there he also set a state record in the shot put and competed in every throwing event every year. Magnus was a five star recruit sought after by a number of teams, but ultimately decided to attend the University of Washington on account of their school of medicine.

College career

Magnus was a standout defensive tackle for Washington from 2032-2035. As a true freshman Magnus made minimal impact at the start of his career as the strength that had earned him his accolades in high school did not compare as favorably to his fellow college competitors. After a few games where he learned to adjust though he was able to turn heads just as he did in high school. By the end of the season he was recognized as a Second Team All-Pac-12 and the Freshman Defensive Player of the Year

His sophomore season was a standout for defensive tackles across the country as he averaged more than a tackle for loss per game. It was the exact kind of season that Washington had recruited him for according to their head coach. By the end of the year he was a unanimous pick for Pac-12 Defensive Player of the Year, First Team All-Pac-12, and the Morris Trophy.

His junior season got off to an even better start than his sophomore season. Unfortunately it ended early after a tragic car accident where he saved a young child's life, but at the cost of traumatic damage to his arms. Initial reports were that he might never be able to play again. Thanks to the Washington School of Medicine though he was able to make a proper recovery in time for his senior year.

While Magnus had lost a great deal of the strength that had made him a five star recruit he had gained a certain amount of speed in the off-season that allowed him to continue to terrorize offensive linemen. He set a personal best in sacks and recorded the only interception of his college career this season. After all of his effort to make it back to the field he was awarded First Team All-Pac-12 honors yet again, and another Morris Trophy.
