Richmond forward Jack Riewoldt, the cousin of St Kilda captain Nick Riewoldt, has earned the round 15 nomination for the AFL Rising Star award.

Riewoldt booted a career-high five goals in Sunday's 77-point drubbing of West Coast in Subiaco.

In his best game for the club, the 19-year-old also claimed 17 possessions and eight marks.

Riewoldt was selected with pick 13 by Richmond in the 2006 national draft after playing senior football for the Tasmania Devils in the VFL.

His cousin Nick won the 2002 Rising Star award.

Riewoldt is Richmond's second Rising Star nominee in 2008 following Trent Cotchin in round 12.
