Richard Council brought veteran size, receiver-born instincts, and steady ball awareness to Indiana’s secondary
Richard Council was a 6-foot-1 Indiana cornerback who arrived with receiver experience, 4.4 speed, and an academic-all-district profile — a combo that hinted at polished footwork, route recognition, and a calm, coachable style. In his Indiana career, he made 20 starts and finished with 88 tackles and 14 passes defended, showing durability and a willingness to tackle, though he also dealt with knee and leg injuries that disrupted stretches of his run. He profiles as a smart, physical fit for teams that value instincts and versatility over flash.
