OSU football: Dominic Richardson 'shocked' to land with Cowboys after TCU put him 'in a big hole'

STILLWATER — Dominic Richardson felt he had no options.

In late May, the recent McGuinness graduate’s time with TCU ended before it began. He was granted a full release, but with no plan of where he could play college football.

Recruiting classes across the country were primarily full, even for a three-star running back oozing with talent.

Still, he had to try. Richardson reached out to several programs hoping there was an opening.

Some responded. Most didn’t.

“I was in a big hole and I had to dig myself out of it,” Richardson said.
