blue-collar Kansas State LB with high-IQ upside
Richman is a freshman linebacker for Kansas State who arrived as a three-star recruit with strong production at Blue Valley, where he piled up 353 tackles and 15 tackles for loss over three seasons. He profiles as a tough, versatile defender with good football IQ and enough athletic range to play in space, which is exactly the kind of trait set Big 12 defenses love. The catch: he’s still early in his college development and has not yet built a large Kansas State game sample, so his value is more about upside, instincts, and competitiveness than proven production.
