Ridley attended Monarch High School in Coconut Creek, Florida. He played in only three games his senior year due to Florida age restriction rules, which doesn't allow anyone over the age of 19 and nine months to be eligible

Perhaps he enlisted, honorably served our country overseas for a while, and is just now enrolling.

Being a freshman isn't dependant on your age.
The count down starts as soon as you take your first class.
Those that forgoe college for a few years to either work, join the military or for whatever reason will have 5 eligible years to play collegiate sports from the very first day they set foot in a college classroom.
I believe this has been discussed here many times.

I'm not vouching for this and I have not followed his career for long, but I read somewhere that he immigrated here and was behind in his schooling, which accounted for his age when graduating high school. I'm not sure if that's true or not.

His bio says he was born in Coconut Creek, Florida. Maybe he was in foster homes, or developmentally challenged.
January 9th, 2016 at 12:42 PM ^
Does this mean he gets to avoid the 3 year rule by the NFL since he's older or nah?

So you're saying because they're white...no one cares. But as soon as a black 21 year old freshman blows up, it's a topic of discussion?
/that's racist

Chris Weinke won the Heisman at 28.

Many reasons for players in the past. Don't know Ridley's situation.
Mormon missions, military service, minor league baseball, poor academics, immigrated and was behind in schooling (often happens with refugees, in particular)

Every bigman that ever played basketball at Iowa or Purdue was in their late 30's when they graduated.
