In the 2023 season, he played in 12 games and recorded 33 tackles, three tackles for loss, half a sack, one interception, eight pass breakups, and one forced fumble.

Following his time at UTEP, Richardson moved to Temple University for his final college season.

Strong final season at Temple

In the 2024 season, Richardson established himself as a starting cornerback at Temple. In 10 games, he recorded 23 tackles, one tackle for loss, one interception, and four pass deflections.

His performances helped him earn a starting role in the secondary and showed his ability to make important plays in coverage.
