2015 National Signing Day: Drew Richmond Announcement Time
By Zach Ragan
Five-star offensive tackle Drew Richmond will announce where he’s attending college at 10:20 AM ET on National Signing Day, according to Matt Slovin of The Tennessean.
Drew Richmond will announce his college decision at 10:20 Eastern tomorrow morning, an official for Memphis University School tells me.

Richmond decommitted from Ole Miss on Monday evening. He had been committed to the Rebels since September.
There are several reports that state Richdmond plans to sign with the Vols on Wednesday, though nothing is official.
It appears that Richmond has severed his ties to Ole Miss. The Memphis native and the Rebels head coach, Hugh Freeze, unfollowed each other on Twitter.
The unfollowing of each other on Twitter may seem petty, but that’s one of the main ways that coaches and recruits communicate during the dead period.
Alabama looks to be the only other team that could factor into Richmond’s decision, but even the Crimson Tide seem like a long shot.
Richmond was suppose to split his time this past weekend between Alabama and Tennessee, but he spent the entire weekend on UT’s campus.
Things are certainly looking good for the Vols here, but this has been a fluid situation and will continue to be so until Richmond signs the papers on Wednesday morning.
