Marquis Richardson brings rangy, hard-hitting safety upside to Hawai‘i
Richardson is a consensus three-star safety from Hamilton (Ariz.) who combines size, physicality, and proven ball production, with 187 career tackles, 29 pass breakups, and three interceptions in three varsity seasons. In 2025, he posted 51 tackles and eight tackles for loss as a senior while helping Hamilton earn the top seed in Arizona’s 6A state playoffs, showing he can impact both run support and coverage. Evaluators view him as a hard-hitting defensive back with strong instincts and special-teams-ready toughness, making him a solid fit for a Hawai‘i secondary that values physical, versatile safeties.[1][2][3][4]
