Riley was considered a three-star recruit out of St. Pius X-St. Matthias (CA). On3 ranked him as the 124th-best prospect from the class of 2024, choosing to play for San Francisco over offers from the likes of Texas A&M, LSU, Florida, Southern California, Xavier, and others. His father, Tyrone Riley Sr., played his college basketball at San Francisco from 2003-05.

During his freshman season, Riley posted a career-high 28 points against Chicago State in November. He reached double figures 16 times and even recorded a couple of double-doubles. Now in the portal, Riley is considered the 53rd-best transfer prospect with plenty of two-way potential.
