Bryson Richardson brings steady, versatile depth to the UMass secondary
Richardson has shown reliable, low-drama value in the defensive backfield, including 11 tackles in nine games in 2021 and 2024 stat lines that featured a tackle, an interception, a pass breakup, and a pressure in all 11 games played, suggesting he can contribute in coverage and around the ball without needing high-volume usage[1][2]. His value is the kind coaches like: active in the secondary, useful on special teams, and capable of making opportunistic plays when the ball finds him[2].
