Richardson suffered a dislocated knee, tearing the major cruciate ligaments in his left knee in late November 2011 following the season. He underwent surgery to repair the damage in December 2011, missing spring drills and is expected to miss the 2012 season.
Richardson saw action in all 11 games in 2011 including four starts at wide receiver, again seeing time as the kickoff returner. He hauled in a career-high 26 passes - tied for fourth on the team - for 335 yards and three touchdowns. Richardson amassed 1,037 yards on 38 kickoff returns including returning one 99 yards for a TD to start the second half against Furman. He averaged 27.3 yards per kickoff return to rank third in the Southern Conference and finished fourth in the league in all-purpose yards, averaging 128.2 yards per game. Richardson was twice named the squad's special teams player of the week, as well as the SoCon Special Teams Player of the Week on Oct. 3, tallying 183 yards on just four kickoff returns including the one for a score. He received a National Kickoff Returner of the Week honor from the College Football Performance Awards (CFPA).
