2027 Aroson "AJ" Randle Jr 4* LB from Garner, NC (Garner HS)

few questions for the folks in the know since there are multiple of them on the first page.

Maybe they are and I’m not seeing it, however it is strange to see Texas Tech, Michigan State (two schools his brother played at; mom ran track ant MSU before transferring to Clemson) and Clemson all not pursuing him. Especially Clemson.

The older brother went to HS out in MI and wasn’t as highly ranked so I can understand why Clemson wasn’t after him; but this should be a layup in Clemson’s backyard, no?

Additionally, did the father run track or play football in college? If so where?

Clemson really doesn’t offer many players, but they already have two linebackers committed with one of those commits being fairly recent (3/8).
 
His back yard is NCST, 15 minute drive, UNC 35 minutes. He has like 5 - P4 programs closer to him than Clemson. His mother is the only draw to Clemson. Is she still connected there or a draw for Clemson? NIL has been a problem for Clemson, like not competitive when it took off. I still believe it's a issue.
I really like Randle. They are doing so much with him, he hasn't been given the time to excell at any one position. He needs to add some weight, obviously. I like his build more than Glover and would think Heatherman does also. He is a good tackler, but isn't laying wood on anyone. He needs to learn to drive through his tackles. He just needs to be coached up at LB full time. I love his tool box.
@DMomey, good comp on Styles. I believe Styles was 210 in HS, a little taller I think. Styles was compared to Isiah Simmons in HS. Randle is somewhat similar to Styles in HS.

I mean this is a pretty big draw lol. That’s all I’m saying. She isn’t a regular alum

Idk about the current ties / connections; the brother went to HS in Michigan; that’s why I asked.

Glover is going to be a tough pull. Agree on him and Randle being very talented prospects.
