Quinton Richardson

Notes: Very strong and athletic, Richardson graded at 81 percent with 78 knockdowns last season as a junior. He earned first-team all-area honors for his junior year performance.

Head coach Jimmy Noonan: I guess the main thing is his athletic ability for a big kid. He’s 6-4 ½, 270 pounds, but he runs right at a 5 flat in the 40. That’s very good for a big man. He’s a very nasty, tenacious blocker, but he has the ability to play on the defensive side of the ball as well.
