Three-star RB and 2020 signee Dominic Richardson won’t be attending TCU this fall
Dominic Richardson is no longer part of TCU’s 2020 football class, coach Gary Patterson confirmed on Wednesday.
Richardson, a three-star prospect out of Bishop McGuinness High School in Oklahoma City, has been granted his full release from his national letter of intent. He’ll be able to pursue any other school.
Richardson was ranked as the No. 52 running back prospect nationally and No. 8 recruit from Oklahoma by 247Sports. He helped Bishop McGuinness to the Class 5A state championship game last season.
Along with TCU, other schools that showed interest in Richardson were Texas, Arkansas, Colorado, Iowa State and Kansas.
Richardson, who is 6-foot, 205 pounds, was initially believed to be the only running back in TCU’s recruiting class when he signed in December. But TCU signed Mount Enterprise’s Kendre Miller as a running back in February, and landed Galena Park North Shore five-star RB Zach Evans earlier this month.
TCU had the third-best rushing offense in the Big 12 last season, averaging 204 yards per game, but it lost seniors Darius Anderson and Sewo Olonilua.
Along with Evans and Miller, TCU also has redshirt freshmen Darwin Barlow and Daimarqua Foster as running back options in 2020.
Jeremy Clark of Horned Frog Blitz first reported the news that Richardson would not be attending TCU.
