Riley Van Poppel is the son of former MLB pitcher Todd Van Poppel. His father was expected to go as the No. 1 overall pick in the 1990 MLB draft but indicated he would not sign with the Atlanta Braves. He ended up dropping to the 14th pick and was selected by the Oakland A’s. Van Poppel made his MLB debut in 1991, but he never won more than seven games in a season before retiring in 2005. Riley Van Poppel recorded around 40 tackles, seven sacks and 14 tackles for a loss in 2021. He helped Argyle High advance to the Texas 4A state quarterfinals.
