Mighty Moe

A prep school running back from South Carolina named Moses Richardson will be on pins and needles awaiting a decision from Dartmouth admissions this spring. From a TV news story:

On the football field Pinewood Prep senior running back Moses Richardson goes by the nickname Mighty Moe.

"I guess (it is) because I'm so small but on the field I don't play like I'm a small person," said Richardson.

Here's his highlight video.

From a preseason blurb:

This honor student just might play in the Ivy League if anyone can slow him down to handle the paper work.

Mighty Moe is variously listed at 5-foot-8, 5-9, 165 pounds and 180.

Here's what he wrote in a junior recruiting profile:

Currently a junior, I'm a hard worker on the field, in the weight room and in class as well. I got an academic grant to go to Pinewood Prepartory School in the seventh grade and am making the best out of the oppertunity I was given. I live with just my mom, who's on disability, but still have a good relation ship with my dad. He's always been there for me. I work two jobs after football seasons, publix and Banks Construction... that's me in a nut-shell. Really want to play college football.
