Texas A&M is looking for running back help in the class of 2018 but it appears the Aggies will get it via transfer as well. According to the Memphis Commercial Appeal, UCF running back Cordarrian Richardson is transferring to Aggieland.

The 6-foot, 248-pound true freshman appeared in nine games for the Knights this season. He ran for 161 yards and two touchdowns on 41 carries.

Richardson was a four-star prospect out of Memphis (Tenn.) Trezevant in the class of 2017. A one-time Clemson commit, a lot of schools backed off of him due to academic concerns. He helped lead his team to back-to-back state titles and was named Tennessee's Mr. Football as a senior.

Richardson will have to sit out the 2018 season due to transfer rules but would then have three years of eligibility remaining in Aggieland.

UPDATE: Richardson told GigEm247 late Thursday evening that he will enroll at A&M beginning this summer. He is continuing with classes at UCF this spring semester. He says has been in contact with A&M running backs coach Jay Graham.
