Lengthy, Explosive Linebacker with a High-Ceiling Fit at New Mexico
Randolph Kpai arrives at New Mexico with a strong pedigree: a former four-star recruit and South Dakota’s consensus top prospect, ranked the No. 15 outside linebacker and No. 253 overall in the 247Sports Composite. On the field, scouting reports praise his long frame, burst, and quickness off the edge, plus the speed to chase down ball carriers or receivers. He also brings a compelling backstory—after moving to the U.S. from Liberia at age 6, football helped shape his adjustment and resilience. He’s a developmental but intriguing LB if you want range, upside, and effort.
