RB #20 Dominic Richardson
Three-star Running Back from Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. Junior
Richardson is 6-0 210 lb. running back. Oklahoma State has used him very differently than they have in the past years, which has payed off. This season he has not only been used in rushing plays, but also been used as a passing option. This is great for Oklahoma State's offense, because not only is he a strong runner who can bulldoze through defensive lines, he is also has good hands and able to pick up good yardage when the ball is passed to him. TCU has been good with containing the run, however they need to watch for him going out for a pass.
