Speaking at the Eddie Jackson 220 Quarterback Club , Richardson talked about his academic pursuit.
“I took five classes in the spring when I came here and then I took four classes in the summer,” Richardson said. “I was really supposed to have a 4.0 GPA. But I’m not gonna say it too much, but I ended up getting a B so my GPA dropped a little bit. But I’m going to graduate hopefully with all A’s this semester and get my degree in December.”
