The 2022 Richmond Spiders football team represented the University of Richmond as a member of the Colonial Athletic Association (CAA) in the 2022 NCAA Division I FCS football season. The Spiders, led by sixth-year head coach Russ Huesman, played their home games at E. Claiborne Robins Stadium.
Following the graduation of four-year starting quarterback Joe Mancuso, the Spiders brought in graduate transfer Reece Udinski from Maryland to lead the team in 2022.[1] Udinski, who formerly played at VMI, reunites with his former teammate Jakob Herres at wide receiver.[2]
In the CAA preseason poll released on July 28, 2022, the Spiders were predicted to finish in fourth place out of 13 teams following the departure of James Madison and the addition of Monmouth and Hampton for the 2022 season.[3]
