The redshirt junior has been named All-MW every season he has been a starter, collecting first team honors in 2024 and second team honors in 2023.
Randolph has also made 12 starts, including eight at center, three at left guard and one at right guard. His PFF run blocking grade of 71.0 is fifth among MW offensive linemen and second among those who primarily play center. Boise State has recorded two of the top-10 single-game yards per carry marks in program history, averaging 9.10 yards per rush at Air Force and 8.91 yards per carry against UNLV. This is the first time the redshirt senior has been named All-MW.
