Notre Dame transfer wide receiver Antavious Richardson is committing to Auburn, On3 has learned. He’ll provide a nice boost to the Tigers’ offense.
Richardson played high school football at Greenville (Greenville, GA), where he was a four-star prospect. He was the No. 285 overall recruit in the 2025 cycle, according to the Rivals Industry Ranking, a weighted algorithm that compiles all major recruiting media services.
Moreover, Richardson was rated as a three-star prospect in the On3 Transfer Portal Industry Rankings. He was the No. 368 overall recruit, and the No. 60 overall wide receiver available after entering their name into the portal before committing to a new beginning. You can check out the full rankingsHERE to see where each athlete slots in.
The 2025-26 college football transfer portal lasted 15 days, spanning from Jan. 2 to Jan. 16. Players have had just over two weeks to enter the portal, but they’re not under a deadline to commit when they enter. Traditionally, the cut-off for committing has been how late a school can enroll a player through admissions, which varies throughout the sport.
