WR Bredell Richardson- UCF 
Bredell Richardson fits Tulane as a versatile, high-upside WR with four-star pedigree, polished route-running, elite ball skills (contested catch specialist), YAC explosiveness, and special teams value who adds immediate depth and competition to a revamped receiver room. 
He’s a 6-1, 190-pound redshirt sophomore transfer from UCF (Big 12) who committed in mid-January 2026 via the portal (entered Dec. 17, 2025). A four-star recruit (247Sports #93 WR nationally, top-370 overall) out of Carrollwood Day School in Tampa, FL, he has three years of eligibility left. Athletic Profile and Scheme Fit: Tulane prioritizes receivers who win with precise routes, create separation, haul in contested catches, generate yards after catch on short-to-intermediate throws, and stretch the field while contributing on special teams. Richardson checks every box as a developmental piece with proven high school production and P4 experience. 
Route-running and separation: Clean, precise routes (especially outside) that allow him to get open quickly, ideal for Tulane’s underneath and intermediate concepts. 
Ball skills and physicality: Excellent hands, body control, and leaping ability; he excels in 50/50 situations and contested catches thanks to his frame and athleticism. 
Explosiveness and versatility: Speed/agility to turn short completions into long gains (YAC threat), plus potential as a deep threat or slot option. Two-way HS experience (WR/free safety) and basketball/track background (shooting guard, long jump, 4x100) show football IQ, multi-positional value, and special teams upside (punt returns at UCF). 
Overall traits: Electric in open space with good hands on contested balls, exactly the kind of playmaker Tulane has targeted in the portal to complement quicker slot types or bigger outside threats like Gabe Daniels. #RollWave Make sure to follow Patrick Harkness on X
