Dominic Richardson is a running back who has not played this season; the last season with a stat line was 2025, at Tulsa.
Richardson does a little of everything without one standout trait. The six seasons span three programs and three head coaches: Mike Gundy, Dave Aranda and Tre Lamb. The first career honor came in 2025: All-AAC. One game to point at: 203 rushing yards and 22 receiving yards against Army — Week 13, 2025.
Play style
Plays within the scheme — consistent production without a dominant dimension.
Boom vs consistent · carry-yardage shape
Steady, not spectacular
Just 15.5% of his season rushing yards came on his 5 best carries — remarkably even — and he's stuffed on 17.9% of his carries. 9 carries for 21 yds vs Florida Atlantic; 27 for 200 vs Army.
Counted from the play-by-play, so a carry or two can differ from the box score.
