Former Clemson running back Adam Randall is officially locked in with the Baltimore Ravens.
The Ravens announced Thursday they have signed Randall to his rookie contract, among other members of their 2026 draft class.
Baltimore selected Randall in the fifth round with the No. 174 overall pick.
Randall marked the first-ever personal draft pick for Steve Bisciotti, who has been the majority owner of the Ravens since 2004, but had never made his own pick in an NFL Draft until the third and final day of this year’s draft when he personally chose Randall after doing his research and due diligence.
“Adam Randall’s an interesting pick,” Ravens general manager Eric DeCosta said. “You’ll probably see the video at some point – it’s the first draft pick that Steve Bisciotti has ever made.
“So, when we were down in Florida, Steve was begging for a draft pick and he owns the team. I said, ‘Yes, Steve. Of course you can have a draft pick.’ And so we decided on our last fifth-round pick. He did his research. He studied the tape and talked to people. He has a really good relationship with the Clemson head coach [Dabo Swinney].”
After spending most of his first three college seasons as a wide receiver, Randall contributed at running back in the 2024 College Football Playoff prior to making the permanent position switch in 2025. He 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.
