Cardwell is eager to reunite with RHS grads at WJC
William Jewell College seems to be developing a pipeline to Richmond High School when it comes to recruiting football players.
Recently, Travis Cardwell signed his letter of intent to play for William Jewell, an NCAA Division II private school based in Liberty. When the senior joins the Cardinals in a few months, he’ll be the third Richmond graduate on their active roster. The others consist of wide receiver Layne Cavanah, a 2022 graduate; and defensive back Hayden Happy, a 2024 graduate.
Cardwell, who’ll join the Cardinals as an offensive lineman, is looking forward to reuniting with Cavanah.
