“We’ve got some things to work on, no question, but there’s a lot of upside to him.”
Richardson successfully juggled his collegiate career on the gridiron and the diamond. With the blessing of his football coach Bobby Bowden, D’Vontrey skipped football offseason workouts and spring practice to keep sharp at his other athletic gift.
