Former Mississippi State cornerback Decamerion Richardson has committed to the Bulldogs’ Egg Bowl rivals, Ole Miss.

Back in high school, Richardson attended and played football for Bossier High in Louisiana, where he was a three-star recruit by the On3 Industry Rankings. He was also rated as the No. 813 overall player the No. 74 cornerback in his cycle. Bossier’s track and field team got a big boost from Richardson in several events during his time there as well.
