Fans were excited upon the news that Drew Richmond, a tackle from Tennessee, was transferring from Tennessee to USC. After the exodus of talent that has left Southern California by transfer (see: Trevon Sidney, Matt Fink, Oluwole Betiku, Josh Imatorbhebhe, and potentially Velus Jones), USC finally gets to add talent through transfer, rather than losing it.
And what a talent Richmond is. The 6’ 5”, 316 pound tackle has prototypical size for a tackle. He was a four star recruit coming out of high-school, and the highly regarded recruit had a productive career in Tennessee.
