Originating from Rock Island, Illinois, Randle developed his skills at Rock Island High School.
High school career
During his time at Rock Island High School, Randle emerged as a highly sought-after talent, steering the team to its inaugural Illinois state championship and sharing the title of Illinois Mr. Basketball in 2011 alongside Ryan Boatright of East Aurora High School. In his final year, he posted averages of 22.3 points and 7.7 rebounds per contest. Randle still holds the school's all-time records with 2,159 points and 773 rebounds. In ESPN’s 2011 rankings, he was rated among the top 100 prospects nationwide, earning a score of 94 which positioned him 60th overall and 10th among point guards. Scout.com placed him 61st nationally and 12th at point guard, while Rivals.com ranked him 78th overall and 20th as a shooting guard. Additionally, he secured All-Tournament accolades at the State Farm Holiday Classic for three consecutive years from 2008 through 2010.
College career
Opting to play for Stanford, Randle chose the Cardinal over offers from Illinois and Purdue, influenced by the direct recruiting efforts of head coach Johnny Dawkins. His freshman year saw him average 13.8 points per game, earn a spot on the Pac-12 All-Freshman team, and contribute to Stanford’s capture of the 2012 National Invitation Tournament championship. As a sophomore, he maintained strong performance with averages of 13.6 points and 2.7 assists per game.
Ahead of his junior season, following an injury to starting point guard Aaron Bright, Randle transitioned into the point guard role. He thrived in this position, boosting his scoring average to 18.8 points per game, securing first-team honors on the All-Pac-12 Conference squad, and guiding Stanford to the Sweet Sixteen round of the 2014 NCAA tournament.
Going into his senior year, Randle was included on watch lists for prestigious awards such as the John R. Wooden, Naismith College Player of the Year, and Bob Cousy Award. On January 22, 2015, he reached a career milestone by scoring his 2,000th point, becoming just the third player in Stanford history to do so. He repeated as a first-team All-Pac-12 selection and was honored as Pac-12 scholar-athlete of the year for the 2014–15 season. In the final game of the 2015 NIT against Miami (FL), Randle led all scorers with 25 points and was named Most Outstanding Player of the tournament. Upon graduation, he held Stanford’s record as its all-time leading scorer with a total of 2,375 points.
