Clemson’s Adam Randall ran the 40-yard dash on Saturday, when running backs worked out at the 2026 NFL Scouting Combine in Indianapolis.
Randall recorded an unofficial time of 4.51 on his first 40-yard dash attempt, and then the exact same time on his second attempt.
Randall’s official 40 time turned out even better — 4.50.
That’s an impressive time at his size.
“That’s a good time. He’s a big back,” NFL Network analyst Daniel Jeremiah said of the the 6-foot-3 3/8, 232-pounder.
Randall’s official 40 time ranks eighth among running backs who ran the 40 at the combine.
Randall – a longtime wide receiver who contributed at running back in the 2024 College Football Playoff prior to making the permanent position switch in 2025 – earned honorable-mention All-ACC honors this past season while rushing for 813 yards and 10 touchdowns on 168 carries. He averaged 4.8 yards per carry and also registered 36 receptions for 254 yards and three more touchdowns, while averaging 23.7 yards per kickoff return.
In 2025, Randall became the fourth player in Clemson history to reach 750 career rushing yards and 750 career receiving yards, joining Travis Zachery, C.J. Spiller and Travis Etienne.
During his four-year Clemson career from 2022-25, Randall recorded 172 carries for 858 yards with 10 touchdowns, while also hauling in 84 receptions for 787 yards and five receiving touchdowns over 50 games, including 20 starts.
Randall was also credited with 13 career kickoff returns for 302 yards (23.2 average) — including a memorable 41-yard return in the 2024 ACC Championship Game to help set-up Clemson’s game-winning field goal.
