Former MCC football player Damarious Randall is named Sports Illustrated All-American. 

---TEMPE, Ariz. -- Sports Illustrated mentioning Arizona State receiver Jaelen Strong and defensive back Damarious Randall on its All-American team simultaneously brought about two questions concerning the future of Sun Devil football.

Strong, who earned a second-team nod from SI, could forego his senior season to enter the NFL draft. There's a very real possibility he is a Day 1 selection, and that curiously goes hand-in-hand with Strong not being included on the Associated Press' three All-American teams, which also was released Tuesday.

Unsurprisingly, ASU coach Todd Graham found the AP list a little baffling considering Strong's draft stock and his production this season. Strong caught 75 balls for 1,062 yards and 10 touchdowns.

"I'm not in control of (the AP voting) so there's not anything I can do about it," Graham said of the AP All-American team. "Would I vote him All-American? Of course I would."

While Strong has a decision to make, Randall has less of a choice.

He led ASU with 101 tackles and three picks this year, and despite being a redshirt senior is eyeing the possibility of returning in 2015.

Randall started his college career playing baseball at Butler Community College in 2010-11, but a shoulder injury led him to leave the school -- as well as baseball. After transferring to Mesa Community College and redshirting the 2011 football season, a strong year playing at the junior college level in 2012 led to Division I schools calling.

After committing to the Sun Devils, Randall enjoyed two productive seasons. Now, ASU is hoping Randall's unique situation that began his collegiate athletic career will allow for another year of eligibility.

"We'll see what happens with it," Graham said. "We think we got a legitimate chance. He's got to get some documentation from doctors and stuff. There's a chance ... until I've seen the documentation, I don't know how good a chance."
