Teli White says he’s rarely had a player with the ability of Cordarrian Richardson. Now, one of the best college teams in the nation will get to see his talents up close.

 

Richardson — who led the Bears to the 2A state championship in December — has verbally committed to Clemson, which lost to Alabama in the BCS national championship game to conclude a 14-1 season.

 

Verbal commitments are non-binding but Richardson, a rising senior, is expected to make it official on signing day in February of 2017.

 

"He’s solid," said White. "He visited (over the weekend) with his parents, met some of the players and really enjoyed himself. He wanted to go there and see if it was everything he thought it would be and it was."

 

Richardson certainly fits the Clemson mold. At 6-1 and 220 pounds, he has the strength to get tough yards inside while boasting the speed to make plays in space. He had a host of offers, including Alabama, Auburn, Florida State, LSU, Memphis, Oklahoma, Ole Miss, Nebraska and Tennessee.

 

"He’s 220 but he runs like he’s 180," said White. "That’s the scary part. He does things on the field and you look at him and say 'dude, how did you do that?' And he says, 'I don’t know.'

"That’s how you can tell the special ones. It just comes natural."

 

Richardson ran for 2,239 yards and scored 18 touchdowns while adding five more scores on punt returns as Trezevant finished 12-3. In the 40-35 victory over Marion County that gave the Bears their first state title in school history, he a BlueCross Bowl record with 342 yards on the ground, while scoring three touchdowns and throwing a fourth.

 

He was runner-up in the 2A Mr. Football voting and was the only junior among the five finalists for the Pepsi Best of the Preps offensive player of the year award.

The Trezevant roster only had thirty six (36) players on it. Seven (7) of them are seniors. #9 is Jondarious Smalls, a 6'-1", 235 lb. LB. He's a junior so he will be back next season. #10 is Justin Swift, a 6'-1" 215 lb. LB. He's a senior and he received a scholarship to play ball at S. E. Missouri State. I don't know about the rest of the seniors at Trezevant. I did not see their names on the list provided on the link, but that doesn't mean that they haven't received a scholarship. I just don't know if they have or not. To my knowledge, it's just been Mr. Swift off of the 2015-2016 Trezevant team.

 

The Trezevant Football Twitter Feed however, has a LOT of information about the 2017 class. It seems that THE Recruiting Guru, Tom Lemming, has made a visit to Trezevant  on April 11th, and the ripple effect has begun. The 6'-6" DE, Tijuan Mason, has received an offer from Purdue. I suspect that Jondarious Smalls will be playing ball in college on scholarship as well. I would also think that Tywan Johnson, a 6'4" 185 lb., talented ATH who has played QB/WR/CB will get some looks from some colleges. Not to mention Tom Lemming identified at the Safety position,  6'-2:, 185 lb.,  Keveon Mullins as a No. 1 underclassman (Freshman) prospect.

 

Man this scrimmage against Whitehaven is going to be special come May 4th.
