Freaky Freshmen
In Chapter 10: Trouble Makers, he is first seen in the cafeteria sitting next to Chad and Jared. He explains he needs a new passion to give him an "edge" in his High School career. Jared suggests he tries out for Football and they all end up trying out and making the team, along with Gabe and Omar. He ends up becoming the team's Wide-receiver and reveals that while he walks home after school with the rest of the group.

In Chapter 15: Practice Makes Perfect, he is seen playing catch with Jared while practicing his wide-receiving skills for the Football Team. He mentions to Jared he needs more of a reputations and Jared compromises helping him if he can catch his throw. Ryan attempts to make the catch, but Chad jumps out in front of him and catches it instead. Jared still agrees to help him and tells him after school in the Locker Room to let everyone know he's throwing a party at his place to celebrate how well the team is doing. Jonah then steps into the picture and asks if he needs help setting up and Ryan tells him that would be great. Jonah shows up early and they talk for a little. The chapter ends with Ryan finding out he now actually has that reputation just by throwing the party.

In Chapter 23: I'm Not Alone, he is seen further practicing his wide-receiving skills in order to impress the coach with the help of Chad, Jonah, and Jared once again. During the chapter, Jonah is seen giving him specific details on how to be a better wide-receiver. After receiving his help, coach walks in on them and tells Ryan that he was so impressed, he may consider him to be team captain next year.
