Don't know any details other than this post but based on the charges, it doesn't sound like he personally assaulted anyone, and with that caveat, the sentence of 53 months seems unduly harsh.

53 months means he’ll be out in 2 years with 2 years of probation. That doesn’t sound “unduly harsh” for participating in a riot with intent to subvert the outcome of an election, at least to me.

It’s amusing to see observations from Conservatives arguing for “slap on the wrist” penalties for rioting with willful destruction of the property of Congress and trying to stop a lawful exercise of democracy, but demanding the most severe punishment imaginable (“can’t you just shoot them?”) when it’s brown people rioting somewhere else.
