Rueben Randle, Junior, Wide Receiver, LSU
Overview:
Rueben Randle is a big, physical, junior wide receiver who never took a redshirt. In 2011 he reeled in a team high 53 catches for 917 yards and eight scores. He was a First Team All-SEC selection by the coaches and Second Team by the AP. He does a good job to use his size to shield defenders from the ball and provides a big target for the quarterback. He is a competitive player and ultra talented. Even playing in the talented SEC, he was able to make an impact as a freshman, and never let up through his junior season.
Final Projection:
Randle has a lot of playing experience and is extremely talented. He was highly coveted out of high school and showed why on a weekly basis. He played against tough competition both in practice and in games, so he is one of the most polished and battled tested receivers in this year’s class.
3/17/12 Update:
Randle measured out a little shorter and slower than most expected at the NFL Combine. He is full of talent, but the measurables should keep him out of the first round. He is certainly worth a second round selection and there are quite a few teams who would like Randle suiting up for them.
