As we continue through the offseason, Roll Tide Wire has decided to bring fans a quick snapshot of each scholarship player listed on Alabama’s 2020 football roster.
Each day, we’ll release two player profiles giving fans a glimpse into the players who will be available this upcoming season. Whether that’s size, classification, hometowns or recruiting rankings coming out of high school, we’ve got you covered.
Also included in each article is a quick recap letting you know what to expect from that player for the upcoming 2020 season and beyond.
Next up on the list is redshirt junior tight end/offensive lineman Kendall Randolph out of Madison (Ala.).
Kendall Randolph, Tight End/Offensive Line
Class: Redshirt Junior
Hometown: Madison (Ala.)
High School: Bob Jones High School
HS ranking (247Sports): 4-star / No. 180 overall / No. 12 OG / No. 9 ALA
HS ranking (Rivals): 4-star / No. 248 overall / No. 15 OG / No. 13 ALA
Analysis: As of right now, Kendall Randolph still holds dual positionally versatility at tight end and offensive line on Alabama’s roster, but it will be interesting to see how his role ends up playing out on the field.
With the arrival of North Carolina grad transfer Carl Tucker, who brings a balanced approach to how he plays the tight end position, the need to have a pure blocker on the perimeter may no longer be needed. Could that mean that Randolph ends up making the move back to offensive line permanently? Don’t rule out the possibility.
Either way, he’s a veteran presence who has shown a willingness to help the Crimson Tide is any way possible, and he’ll continue to provide needed depth at multiple positions, whether that’s solely along the offensive line or at tight end as well.
