Richards checked in at six-foot-five and seven-eights, 332 pounds, recording 22 reps of 225 pounds on the bench press and 27-inch vertical.

Richards used his redshirt year in 2017 to fine-tune his body for the final season of NCAA eligibility in 2018. He started two games at right guard and three at right tackle for the Cowboys last season – including his first career start in the season-opener against Missouri State.
