At 8 years old, Ryder became his team’s starting quarterback — a position front and center for all the gridiron action. During the last game of the season in November 2023, Ryder got hit hard, like so many times before. But this time was different. An x-ray revealed an osteoid osteoma, a benign but painful bone tumor.
