Mississippi State added a commitment for its 2019 class Wednesday from junior college offensive tackle Montravious Richardson.
Richardson, originally from Albany, Ga., signed with Mississippi State as a three-star recruit in 2017, but academic issues caused him to enroll at Mississippi Delta CC. Richardson told GN a few hours after he committed that he chose to commit Wednesday for one reason – for his grandmother Kathy.
“The reason I picked today to commit is because today is my grandma’s birthday and I wanted to surprise her,” Richardson said. “I did that just for her.”

Richardson (6 feet 7, 325 pounds) redshirted at Mississippi Delta CC last season and will attend Georgia Military College this fall, then enroll at Mississippi State in December with three seasons of eligibility.
