Sitting in the NOLA airport waiting for a flight to Austin. Just saw Randle and Arch walking off the plane that is unloading here from Austin. He was wearing a Texas hat. Not sure if it was his or Arch’s mom but a woman with them had big Longhorn earrings.

How he fits at Texas:

Randle has a pretty significant role at Isidore Newman where he was the most talented skill position player in 2021 on a team with Arch Manning at quarterback. In big playoff games Newman would move him to the point of attack as a flex tight end in the passing game or as a backfield blocking escort for the quarterback power run game they mixed in with Manning. He’s similar to Cade Brewer in that he’s skilled in both arenas but isn’t particularly explosive in either. He’d be a good H tight end who could move out to run routes or slide into the point of attack from the backfield as a lead blocker, just as Brewer or Andrew Beck did in previous seasons. – Ian Boyd 

Coach Says:

Strengths – Good size frame for H-back/TE. Room to add in the lower body. Good wingspan. Straight line acceleration is good and top end speed appears a little deceiving. As a receiver, shows ability to run a fairly varied route tree, but appears most effective slipping out into the flat and short passing game. As he’s gotten older, his hands seem to be softer and has some nice catches with extended arms. As a blocker, appears more than willing. Good feet out of his stance and few missteps as he pulls. Used a lot as a split zone blocker and works generally well with that leverage. Most highlights are at H-back or flex-Y.

Areas for Improvement / Concerns – Would like to see more lower body /hip flex. Routes are getting better, but he still rounds off quite a few breaks. Loses a lot of speed on change of direction. Opponent film suggests he needs work on the scramble drill. Should take better care to anticipate the defender attacking the catch. Opponent film shows him getting upright as a blocker and letting defenders get into his frame and under his pads.
