Texarkana (TX) Pleasant Grove cornerback Jamarion Richardson was one of 13 recruits on campus at Texas Tech this weekend on official visits.
What makes Richardson's case different than many of the other prospects who visited is that he's already committed to Big 12 foe Baylor.
Offered by the Red Raiders back in February, Richardson's initial official visit to Lubbock was supposed to be in April but was pushed back to the first major OV weekend of June. Despite his pledge to the Bears, he made the trip out where he got to learn more about Texas Tech and the Red Raiders' push to flip him from their rivals in Waco.
