Football: Idaho linebacker accepts BYU's preferred walk-on offer
Another Richardson from Idaho is adding his name to BYU's football roster.
The Idaho Falls Post-Register reported Thursday that Jared Richardson, a linebacker from Bonneville High in Idaho Falls, Idaho, has accepted a preferred walk-on offer from BYU.
Richardson is the younger brother of Brock Richardson, a defensive lineman who just graduated from BYU and is now working towards becoming a trainer at the school. Another brother, Jordan Richardson, will join BYU's roster when he returns from a mission to Brazil.
Jared Richardson said he also had offers to be a preferred walk-on at Boise State and Utah State.
He averaged 10.9 tackles a game in both his junior and senior years and was the High Country Conference Defensive Player of the Year last fall, according to the Post-Register.
Another defensive star from Southern Idaho, Mason Higham of Shelley High, will also join BYU in the fall as a preferred walk-on.
Preferred walk-ons are not on scholarship, but they do have guaranteed spots on the 105-man roster.
