Brother of Calvin Ridley down to two schools

Published Dec. 28, 2015 8:21 p.m. ET

When trying to sign the next Calvin Ridley, look no further than his brother -- a 2016 prospect named Cavin Ridley.

The younger brother of the Crimson Tide's star true freshman receiver, he's narrowed his collegiate decision down to two schools: Alabama and South Carolina.

As he told SEC country, both schools stand out for different reasons. 

"[Alabama] recruits hard," said the younger Ridley. "They're telling me I can get it and get the ball rolling and try to be just as good as my brother."

South Carolina's new defensive native Travaris Robinson (like Ridley) is a Florida native. The Gamecocks are hoping those ties can help them reel in the talented pass-catcher. 

"[Robinson] has been telling me to just get it cracking. There's nothing better than doing what your brother is doing."

Ridley could ultimately make his decision at the Under Armour All-America Game this upcoming Saturday. While playing with his brother may be too much to pass up, Ridley likely would see the field earlier in Columbia. 

A bit bigger than his brother at 6'2", he's a physical player with above-average speed and quickness.
