Jack Richardson, Stanford’s last QB standing: ‘I’m having an absolute ball’
Jack Richardson was watching games at Stanford Stadium long before most of the Cardinal coaches got there — 30 or 40 games, in fact, as he was growing up.
His dad, Kevin, was a linebacker who led Stanford in tackles with 113 in 1987. His mom, the former Teresa Smith, was Pac-12 volleyball player of the year at Stanford in 1986.
His father proposed to his mother via a sign dragged by an airplane over the Big Game in 1991. “True story,” Jack said.
He’s a walk-on player, which means he’s among those who don’t have a scholarship. That said, he’s one of the most valuable players in the spring drills. He’s the top quarterback. In fact, he’s the only quarterback.
