For the past 2 seasons, Max Richardson has been one of the standard carriers on the Boston College Eagles defense. Richardson owned the middle linebacker position beginning with his redshirt-sophomore season. He made the most of that time, recording 316 tackles (175 solo tackles) over 50 games in his BC career. In the 2020 season, aside from being a leader for the Eagles on and off the field, Richardson was a 3rd team All-ACC selection, was 2nd on the team and 4th in the ACC in tackles, led the team with 8.0 tackles for loss, set career bests for tackles, sacks, and tackles for loss, and ended up with the 11th most tackles in the nation.
