At 6-foot-7, 300 pounds, Richardson definitely has the size to be a great offensive lineman. Obviously what needs to come next is developing skill. At the college level, he's not just going to be able to bowl over smaller lineman; he's going to need to improve his footwork and learn higher level blocking schemes.

Richardson is Mississippi State's 21st commitment of the 2017 class. They are ranked 20th in the nation over at 247Sports, however, that is only good enough for ninth in the SEC.
