Kevin Riley, (born January 27, 1987 [http://calbears.cstv.com/sports/m-footbl/mtt/riley_kevin00.html] in Portland, Oregon) is the starting quarterback for the California Golden Bears, a college football team for the University of California Berkeley. He is a redshirt sophomore.

High school

Riley's hometown is Portland, Oregon and he attended Beaverton High School. He was considered the top player in Oregon as a senior by Rivals.com and SuperPrep magazine. He was named Portland metro area player of the year after passing for 2,580 yards with just six interceptions on 239 attempts. [ [http://calbears.cstv.com/sports/m-footbl/mtt/riley_kevin00.html Player Bio] ] He was team MVP and Vice President of his class as a junior and senior.

2007

Riley made his first career start for the injured Nate Longshore in California's homecoming game against Oregon State. Riley passed for 294 yards, two touchdowns, and rushed for a touchdown but California lost the game when he scrambled instead of throwing the ball away to set up a field goal to tie the game, but Riley can be credited for putting Cal in a situation to win after being down 31-21 late in the fourth quarter.

He passed for 269 yard, 3 touchdowns, and rushed for a touchdown, helping the Bears turn a 21-0 deficit into a victory. Riley was the game's MVP.

2008

Riley competed with Longshore for the starting quarterback job, winning the position for the first four games. He lead the Bears to wins over Michigan State at home, throwing for 202 yards and two touchdowns. He only played during the first half of the Bears' 66-3 rout of Washington State, which allowed the backup players to get some starting time. The win resulted in the Bears breaking into the Top 25 at #23, but they were upset in College Park, Maryland on September 13 by the unranked Maryland Terrapins. With the Bears' offense stifled by the Terrapins' defense for three quarters, Riley threw three touchdown passes in the fourth quarter for 423 yards on 58 attempts, a school record for the most pass attempts.

With Cal up 21-0, Nate Longshore stepped in at quarterback in the third quarter and threw for two touchdowns in the fourth. This resulted in the starting quarterback position being reopened by head coach Jeff Tedford for the following week against Arizona State on October 4.
