Kohl's Comments

Richards had a strong showing at the 2025 Kohl's Eastern Spring Showcase with a well-rounded performance across all three disciplines. He made 8 field goals during the charting session and posted a 101.10 overall kickoff score, with his best ball traveling 70 yards with 3.40 seconds of hang time. His punting was also notable, earning a 104.96 score highlighted by a standout punt of 57 yards and 4.47 seconds of hang time. Richards has next-level talent and will be a prospect to keep on radar going into next year.

Athlete Bio

I am a 6'3" athletic punter/kicker combo from Whitehall, PA, where I live with my parents and my older sister. As a four-sport varsity athlete, I compete year-round—playing soccer as a goalkeeper and football in the fall, basketball in the winter, and volleyball in the spring. I have been selected as a captain in soccer, basketball, and volleyball, and I served as a game-day captain for our District XI playoff football game this past November.

My football team has won three District XI 5A titles during my four years in the program. I earned the starting punter role as a freshman and sophomore, and took on both punting and kicking duties my junior and senior seasons. In soccer, I helped lead my team to the school’s first-ever District XI championship during my sophomore year. Across all four sports, I have competed in at least the first round of the state tournament every season, a testament to the strong programs I have been part of and the commitment I bring to each team. My versatility on the field reflects the way I approach both athletics and academics: with coachability, discipline, and a strong drive to succeed.

In the classroom, I have consistently challenged myself with honors and AP courses throughout high school to prepare for the rigor of college academics. I plan to study either business or education, and I hope to coach in the future. My goal is to continue developing as an athlete, a student, and a leader—always willing to put in the work necessary to succeed.
