Shane Richards Taken First Overall in CFL Draft
Shane Richards is headed back to the north.
The Toronto Argonauts selected the former Oklahoma State offensive lineman first overall in Thursday’s CFL Draft. Richards played his high school football in Canada at Crescent Heights in Alberta.
Richards started five games for the Cowboys in 2018. He started OSU’s first two games at right guard before starting the Iowa State, Kansas State and Texas games at right tackle. He missed the Cowboys’ final four games of the season because of injury. Richards is quite the force at 6-foot-8, 336 pounds.
