Former New Mexico State Aggies linebacker Devin Richardson announced on Twitter his decision to transfer to the Texas Longhorns.
Richardson, who was a three-star prospect out of Klein, was named to the Football Writers Association of America Freshman All-American team after recording 69 tackles, three tackles for loss, two sacks, and three forced fumbles.
The Aggies didn’t play last season due to COVID-19, leaving Richardson with three years of eligibility remaining and should make an immediate impact at Texas.

Thank you to my loved ones that supported me through this faith walk. This step in my journey has taught me so much. I m blessed to say I will be continuing my career at the University of Texas. Hook
