Texas’ Gap-Controls, Run-Stuffing Anchor
In his Texas years, Kheeston Randall stood out as a durable, high-leverage interior defender: a 6-foot-5, 305-pound tackle who played in 47 games with 35 starts, stacked up 98 tackles, 21 tackles for loss, and 4 sacks, and earned first-team All-Big 12 recognition in 2011. His calling card was simple and valuable—he held the point of attack, ate blockers, and helped Texas field elite defenses, but evaluators noted his pass-rush ceiling was more limited than his run-defense impact. If your team needs a tone-setting, assignment-sound interior presence, he fits; if you want twitchy interior disruption, he’s less that guy.
