Tre Richardson will enter the NCAA Transfer Portal, as first reported by Pete Nakos of On3 Sports. Richardson looks to depart Nashville after only one year with Vanderbilt.

The 5’10, 175-pound pass catcher totaled 46 receptions for 806 yards and 7 touchdowns. His bursting speed made him an attractive target for Diego Pavia downfield. Richardson found productive rhythm towards the end of the season, amassing 21 receptions for 485 yards in the final four games.

The Kansas native played his freshman season at Hutchinson Community College, his sophomore season at Washburn University and now his junior season at Vanderbilt. He will now look to finish his college career elsewhere.
