Michael Richardson brings disruptive linebacker production and edge to Southern’s defense
Michael Richardson is a **6-foot-2, 230-pound freshman linebacker** who already stands out for high-impact playmaking: he earned Defensive MVP honors in District 11-5A after posting **60 tackles, 10 tackles for loss, 13 sacks, three forced fumbles, and four fumble recoveries** in his prep season.[2] That profile points to a downhill, attack-minded defender who can change games with pressure, takeaways, and backfield disruption rather than just piling up routine stops.[2] If Southern wants a tone-setter with length, violence, and a proven knack for creating chaos, he fits the mold well.[2]
