This time around, it’s a Group of Five program’s roster that is getting richer at the expense of one from a Power Five school.
On his personal Twitter account Monday afternoon, Tavin Richardson announced that he has decided to continue his collegiate playing career at Marshall. Earlier this offseason, Richardson opted to transfer out of Kentucky.
As a graduate transfer, the fifth-year senior wide receiver will be eligible to play immediately in 2019 for the Thundering Herd. This coming season will be his final year of eligibility.

Richardson started 25 games during his time with the Wildcats, including 12 in 2018. He totaled 13 receptions for 114 yards this past season and 645 yards and a touchdown on 49 receptions over the last three years in Lexington. His 27 receptions in 2017 were good for second on the team.
