Adam Randall is a running back and 2026 NFL Draft prospect who spent all four seasons of his collegiate career at Clemson University, though the majority of that time was spent as a wide receiver before converting to running back for his senior season. A native of Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, Randall joined the Tigers as a four-star wide receiver recruit in the 2022 class and spent his first three seasons contributing as a depth receiver and special teams player, accumulating 48 career catches for 533 yards across 37 games. In the offseason before his senior year, Randall made the position switch to running back, and the transition paid immediate dividends. In 2025, his only season as a full-time running back, he started all 13 games and rushed for 814 yards and 10 touchdowns on 168 carries while adding 36 receptions for 254 yards and three receiving scores, finishing with 1,068 scrimmage yards. He became one of only two players in the ACC with 800 or more rushing yards and 250 or more receiving yards, was voted a permanent team captain by his teammates, and was named a finalist for the Pop Warner Award. His career at Clemson spanned 50 games and he finished with 172 carries for 858 yards and 10 rushing touchdowns alongside 84 receptions for 787 yards.
Measured at 6-2 and 232 pounds with a 4.50 40-yard dash at the 2026 NFL Scouting Combine, Randall brings a rare size-speed combination to the position that NFL evaluators have taken notice of, drawing comparisons to a versatile offensive weapon who can line up in multiple alignments. His receiver background gives him advanced route-running technique and reliable hands out of the backfield, and his size allows him to absorb contact and block downfield at a level unusual for the position. His power running between the tackles is genuine, and he generates momentum quickly when getting downhill. The primary concerns center on his inexperience as a ball carrier, as he had virtually no carries before his senior season, meaning his vision in complex blocking schemes and pass protection technique remain in early developmental stages. Randall projects as a Day 3 pick, likely in the middle rounds, with an intriguing versatile profile that could evolve into a meaningful role as both a runner and receiver at the next level with continued development.
