Stanford’s steady, walk-on QB who earned his stripes
Jack Richardson’s profile is built on persistence, size, and reliability: the 6-foot-5, 215-pound Stanford quarterback was a walk-on who earned a scholarship after a strong spring-game showing, and Stanford’s roster notes he’s also been an Academic Honor Roll player. He has game experience in limited duty, but the bigger differentiator is his story—he’s the kind of quarterback teammates can rally around because he combines patience, poise, and a long development arc with Stanford’s demanding academic and football culture.
