Caesar Rodney Riders Promote Assistant Coach to Coordinator Role
The Caesar Rodney Riders have elevated assistant coach Ryan Thompson to defensive coordinator, a move that comes after five seasons developing talent in the program. The Riders, a Division I team from Camden, have been rebuilding their roster following a 4-6 record in 2025. Thompson's promotion is seen as a key step in the team's efforts to improve its defense, which struggled to contain opponents last season. With the move, Thompson will oversee the development of the team's defensive line and linebackers. The Riders are expected to face increased competition in the upcoming season, with several top programs in the state eyeing them as a potential threat. The team's recruiting efforts will also be closely watched, as Thompson's leadership is expected to help attract top talent to the program.
