developmental Kansas lineman with size and upside
In the 2025 season, Eli Richmond saw limited action for Kansas, playing in one game against Wagner, but his 6-foot-4, 306-pound frame and redshirt-sophomore status point to a classic big-body developmental offensive lineman with room to grow.[10] He entered Kansas as a freshman from Paola, Kansas, and early roster listings plus recruiting-style profiles suggest he’s still in the “build and polish” stage rather than a finished product.[8][11] If you need trench depth with local-rooted upside and patience for coaching, Richmond is a name worth tracking.[10]
