Jayland Randall brings efficient scoring, tough on-ball defense, and instant offense to NM State
Randall is a 6-foot-5 guard who looks like a strong fit for New Mexico State because he arrives after a breakout 2024-25 season at Southern Indiana, where he averaged 15.0 points, 3.3 rebounds, 1.4 assists, and a team-high 1.4 steals while shooting 42.4% from the field and 37.5% from three[11][8]. His differentiator is two-way value: he can create his own shot, get to the line, and pressure the ball defensively, which helped him produce 20 points in NM State’s win over Jacksonville State and suggests he can swing games without needing heavy usage[11][13].
