experienced, versatile guard expected to steady Albany’s backcourt
Will Richardson is a 6-foot-3 senior guard for Albany entering the 2025-26 season after transferring from Fordham, and UAlbany described him as “a leader” and “a winner,” which tells you a lot about the role he was expected to play[1]. He was also flagged as a player with collegiate scoring and playmaking experience who can bolster Albany’s perimeter game, and outside preview coverage said he had started early at Fordham before an injury interrupted his run[11][12]. The big question for fit is availability: one report later said eligibility issues prevented him from appearing for Albany, so the upside is clear, but the floor depends on whether he can actually suit up[2].
