This week, Raff and the Meatballs catch up with Riley Nowakowski, a 2020 MUHS graduate whose football journey is straight out of a movie. Riley went to the University of Wisconsin as a preferred walk-on, fought his way onto the field, earned a scholarship, and is now suiting up for the #1–ranked Indiana Hoosiers.

From Hilltopper pride to Big Ten intensity, Riley shares what it takes to bet on yourself, put in the work, and chase success at the highest level.
