Livingstone football twins making an impact

SALISBURY,  North Carolina – Livingstone senior wide receiver Jalen Hendricks has contributed to the football program in many well-known ways. Hendricks has caught a lot of passes for a lot of yards during his career and in 2014, was the CIAA Offensive Player of the Year.

What most people don’t know is that Hendricks contributed in another way — he helped recruit two starters on this year’s squad.

Twins Jarius and Jarod Richardson played with Hendricks at Nash Central High School (Nashville, N.C.) and were juniors when the future Blue Bears’ receiver was a senior.

After graduating from Nash Central in 2013, the Richardsons enrolled at Paine College in Augusta, Ga., and were members of that school’s first year football program. They played that first year, which amounted to little more than a freshman schedule, and then in 2014, when four-year schools were added.
