Early years

Randolph only started two games at varsity level at St. Xavier High School in Cincinnati due to his campaign being overshadowed by Robby Schoenhoft, who was an Elite 11 Quarterback and went on to play at Ohio State University. Randolph threw for 2,450 yards and 17 touchdowns during his high school career at freshmen and junior varsity levels and led the team to the Greater Cincinnati League title in his senior season. He was also a member of the St. Xavier basketball team. Randolph graduated in 2005.[2]
