Richards played college football at Brigham Young University and the University of Hawaii. ==Early life== Richards attended Granite High School where he lettered in 5 sports (football, basketball, track, tennis, baseball) and received All-state honors in 3 (football, basketball, track). In football he joined his brother Doug Richards and played fullback. He led the track & field team to the Utah Class A state title.〔https://news.google.com/newspapers?nid=336&dat=19690414&id=3lguAAAAIBAJ&sjid=xXoFAAAAIBAJ&pg=3457,3200512〕 In basketball he played guard and was named second-team All-state.〔https://news.google.com/newspapers?nid=336&dat=19690308&id=MZYrAAAAIBAJ&sjid=yXoFAAAAIBAJ&pg=2745,1450886〕 After being recruited by different division I colleges, he had decided to attend the University of Utah, but his church bishop influenced Richards to attend BYU instead of serving on a mission. From the start he was the fastest player on the BYU team and wore number 22 in honor of Bob Hayes. As a sophomore he led the team in receiving with 36 receptions for 513 yards (fifth among WAC receivers) and 1 touchdown.〔https://news.google.com/newspapers?nid=336&dat=19710820&id=8QhQAAAAIBAJ&sjid=9VQDAAAAIBAJ&pg=7291,4189789〕 As a junior he again led the team in receiving with 14 receptions for 287 yards and 1 touchdown. He also had 33 punt returns for 624 yards (17.9 average) and 4 touchdowns, 23 kickoff returns for 468 yards (19.8 average). He was first in the nation in punt returns and 16th in all-purpose yards. He set four NCAA records with most punt return yards (219 against North Texas St.) in a game, most kickoff returns (247 yards, 7 returns) in a game, average per kickoff return (35.3 yards) in a season and tied the record for most touchdowns (4) on punt returns in a season. He received All-WAC honors. The combination of being ruled academically ineligible and BYU's run-oriented offense, made him take the decision to transfer to the University of Hawaii for his senior season.〔https://news.google.com/newspapers?nid=336&dat=19720619&id=_mZTAAAAIBAJ&sjid=uoUDAAAAIBAJ&pg=4026,4656178〕 As a senior he had 23 receptions for 414 yards and 5 touchdowns, before injuring his knee. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Golden Richards」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
