How about a Yahtzee for the Big Blue Nation on this beautiful Sunday evening?

Former Kentucky receiver and current JUCO product JaVonte Richardson has announced he will return to Kentucky next season.

The 6-foot-4, 220-pound wideout initially left Lexington last spring due to academic issues, where he enrolled at Iowa Western Community College to get his grades back in order. This season at Iowa Western, Richardson has racked up 305 yards and three touchdowns in just six games.

247 Sports ranks Richardson as the No. 2 JUCO wide receiver and No. 17 overall prospect in the country. Rivals.com also lists Richardson as a four-star prospect.

With the commitment, Kentucky’s 2019 class moves up to No. 25 on Rivals.com. According to Justin Rowland, the newest Wildcat will arrive in January and will have three years to play three.

Here was his announcement on Twitter:
