Another piece to this loaded Hamilton secondary will be 2026 Defensive Back Marquis Richardson. He played mainly at the safety position for the Huskies defense last season and caused a lot of confusion for opposing offenses. Some notable stats from his sophomore year included 54 total tackles, 17 of those as solo tackles, and 13 pass deflections. Richardson’s range, especially from a one-high deep look is special, able to quickly get to either sideline aiding in any vertical threats downfield. He is incredibly disruptive at the catch point, driving through the receiver’s hands with his shoulder or lengthy arms to prevent a completion downfield. If Richardson can continue to play just as well from the one high safety position, this Hamilton defense can get very creative with its play calls.
High upside safety prospect that was flying under the recruiting radar prior to the spring when he pulled in his initial college offer from Iowa State. Long 6’2” 190 lb. frame that uses his speed well to cover the whole field with great range. Equally effective in both coverage and run support, shows he can play center field safety, deep half, or roll down into the box. Good eye discipline and key play diagnosis skills to trigger and break on the ball. Like his change of direction and acceleration out of his break to gain ground with the ball in the air. Plus ball skills, he plays through the hands with good timing to break up passes at the catch point. Strong one on one open field tackler that can break down in space and wrap up. Expect to his recruitment on the rise with more college attention as he gains exposure going into his junior year.
