DEL.ICIO.USKell tailback looking forward to seeing Air Force
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution

Kell tailback Justin Randolph will get something extra when he travels to the Air Force Academy on Nov. 15. He’ll get to see the school he’s most interested in and one of the best football teams in the country.
The Falcons welcome Brigham Young in their final home game of the season. The atmosphere should give Randolph just the taste of Division I football he has been looking for.
“I’m very excited,” said Randolph, who also is interested in Duke, North Carolina State and Furman. “BYU is a really great football team. That makes it different for sure. I’m looking forward to seeing what the campus and everything is like.”
Randolph is a member of the AJC’s The Georgia 150. He has also visited Furman, which he enjoyed. The prospect of playing for a military institution isn’t a problem either.
“It’s unique place,” Randolph said. “You have to get used to the discipline, but I have that at home. So it wouldn’t be much of a change for me.”

My son, a memebr of the Harrison Hoya football team, committed to Air Force after visiting in July. It is an amazing place and after all the other schools he was interested in was the only one that blew him away. He committed on the spot and has not regretted it one bit.

Justin, First of all, congrats to you and your parents for even being considered to play there. It’s definitely a serious place for serious kids who enjoy serious challenges. My son played a different sport and graduated in 2003. But believe me, it was a very “tough road to hoe” so to speak. The academic, military and athletic demands are tremendous and throw in also being 3000 miles from home for the first time in your life and well, many don’t even get through the month of basic training. It’s not ordinary college life lol. But you can do it. A thousand do every spring and the quiet feeling of accomplishment they get is absolutely incredible. Good luck!
