Size-upside DB still waiting for his breakout snap
Mar'Shawn Richardson-Giddings enters the 2026 season at Lamar as a 5-foot-11, 201-pound sophomore defensive back, but the key story is patience: the Cardinals list him as a redshirt sophomore who did not see the field in 2025 after using his redshirt in 2024. That means the upside is more projection than production right now, though the frame suggests a physical, tackle-capable defensive back with room to develop into a reliable depth piece if he translates his size and athleticism into game reps. If you want an immediate impact star, keep walking; if you want a developmental, high-ceiling DB, this is a name worth tracking.
