QB SR Iowa State
About Richardson Updated Sep 8, 2026

a high-volume, dual-threat Iowa State QB who could carry an offense

In the 2014 season, Sam Richardson delivered one of the best statistical years in Iowa State history, throwing for 2,669 yards and 18 touchdowns while adding 421 rushing yards and 3 scores, showing real dual-threat juice and toughness[6]. He’s valuable if you want a quarterback who can extend plays, handle a heavy workload, and keep drives alive with both his arm and legs, though the profile also shows some volatility in efficiency and turnover risk in big-game spots[11][12][15].
