high-upside athlete, but still a developmental project
In 2025, Scrap Richardson was a 4-star recruit and a top-300 national prospect, but he did not appear in a regular-season game for Notre Dame; his only notable production was a 2-catch, 22-yard, 1-TD spring game showing. Notre Dame listed him at 6-foot, 190 pounds, and the biggest differentiator in his profile was raw versatility—he played QB, RB, and DB in high school before converting to WR. The upside is real, but so is the wait: he was viewed as an unrefined, long-term project before entering the portal in January 2026.
