Two weeks ago I profiled a speedy high school QB out of South Carolina, who was converted to a cornerback and is currently penciled in as the starter for the South Carolina Gamecocks. As I continue to search for players who not only make a successful jump from high school to college, I strive to find those freshman who will have an instant impact from day 1 at the collegiate level.
Today I think I found another instant impact freshman. Tennessee wide receiver Nu'Keese Richardson out of the famous Pahokee, FL has immense talent and will be looked upon for an instant impact. Not only does his talent and pedigree, coming from a storied program down in the Muck region of Florida, speak for itself but injuries have thrust him into the position to make an impact.
Richardson is a very dynamic player possessing elite speed as well as quickness in an out of breaks. He plays very big considering he is only 5'11 172lbs. His fearless mentality to go over the middle and make plays on a consistent basis has shown his toughness and smarts to find holes in zone coverage. His quickness can also be utilized in the screen and pitch game considering he has done it so well on the high school level. Richardson also brings a facet of being a high school quarterback, so the possibility of the Wildcat is always present as well as being used on special teams to return kicks.
Nu'Keese basically has too much versatility and speed to not be on the field a considerable amount as a true freshman. And any doubters better check out the film before they make that assessment.
