Over 4 million boys and girls from across the country participate every year in the free competition, making it one of the world’s largest youth sports participation programs.  

Randolph is no stranger to the game of football. He was a member of the Pendleton Junior Football League for four years and was starting quarterback for the Pendleton Heights Middle School football team. This past year, the Arabians had a 3-4 record. Randolph threw for more than 800 yards and connected with his receivers for eleven touchdown passes. The talented athlete has his heart set on playing varsity football at Pendleton Heights High School, where he has already worked out with the team.

“I would love to be the team quarterback,” Randolph said, “but I will play where they put me.” 

Randolph is proud to represent the Indianapolis Colts in the Pepsi Punt, Pass and Kick competition, which happens to be his favorite NFL team. Though he is a quarterback, Bob Sanders is his favorite Colts player. 

“Peyton is a great player,” Randolph said, “but I love to watch Sanders play.” 

No matter what happens in the final round of the Pepsi Punt, Pass and Kick competition, Randolph will take it all in stride.

“I’m one of the top four in the nation, “ he said. “So that’s pretty good. I’m just glad to be a part of this.”
