Kevin Lamont Richardson (born May 15, 1986) is an American former college football player. He was the starting running back for the Appalachian State Mountaineers from 2005 to 2007. He holds school records for the most career rushing yards (4,804), the most rushing yards in a single season (1,676 in 2006), the highest career all-purpose yardage (6,104), and the most rushing touchdowns in a single season (30 in 2006). Richardson was a key contributor to three seasons of unprecedented success for the Mountaineers. He scored multiple touchdowns in all three of the team's FCS championship victories, and he rushed for 88 yards in the Mountaineers' 34–32 upset victory over the then #5 Michigan Wolverines of the Football Bowl Subdivision.
