KNOXVILLE, TN – NOVEMBER 10: Drew Richmond #51 of the Tennessee Volunteers gets yelled at by head coach Jeremy Pruitt of the Tennessee Volunteers during the first half of the game between the Kentucky Wildcats and the Tennessee Volunteers at Neyland Stadium on November 10, 2018 in Knoxville, Tennessee.

The nice part about trying to nab the former Tennessee Volunteers four-star recruit and experienced standout offensive tackle Drew Richmond from the graduate transfer market would be two-fold. Richmond carries all the talent of someone like Phillips or Griffin, minus a lot of their injury history and concerns.

Although Richmond only has one year of eligibility left, his one season for a program like Texas football could be one of the most impactful the coaching staff could ask for. Richmond is a proven talented lineman that could have an NFL future in front of him. It was a bit surprising that he decided to transfer from Tennessee, though.

Rivals listed the Forty Acres as one of the potential landing spots that does make sense for Richmond. A few of the other landing spots that Rivals listed for Richmond includes the Auburn Tigers, Memphis Tigers, Oklahoma Sooners, and Alabama. Texas is a spot where he could boost his NFL Draft profile and fill an immediate need in the process.

The host of offensive line transfer targets for the Horns in the portal is long, but Richmond has to be the prized candidate this program could land. He’s a former No. 3 high school offensive tackle prospect in the nation and carries an ideal 6-foot-5 and 320 pound frame that is prototypical for his position at the next level.
