Healthy Upside, but Still an Unproven Gophers DL
Randle is a 6-foot-2, 300-pound sophomore defensive lineman for Minnesota who has flashed enough potential to stay in the two-deep conversation, but his college résumé is still thin because injuries have repeatedly interrupted his development. He redshirted in 2023, played briefly in 2024 after missing time, and then was sidelined through the 2025 season by a fall-camp injury; if he finally stays healthy in 2026, the appeal is his size, interior line body type, and chance to become a steady rotational piece rather than a headline stat producer.
