Zach Richardson brings size, versatility, and special-teams value to Troy’s secondary
Zach Richardson is listed by Troy in the 2026 season as a 6-foot, 195-pound redshirt freshman defensive back from John Carroll HS, giving the Trojans a long, physical athlete with room to develop into a reliable cover man and run-support piece[1]. The upside here is his versatility and frame, but there isn’t enough public game-stat data yet to sell him as a proven producer—so the real intrigue is projection, not résumé. If a team wants a developmental DB with SEC-level size and special-teams potential, Richardson is the kind of dice roll worth liking[1][2].
