Last season, Richardson dominated at Hopewell, racking up tackles and preventing rushing lanes with his size and strength. If he commits to Maryland, he could anchor the Terps' defensive line, adding power and versatility. His presense on their defense would help this Maryland team compete in the B1G and elevate the team's ability to stop the run and make life tough on opposing quarterbacks.
