Standing at 6-foot-6 and weighing 298 pounds, Carroll is a highly sought-after recruit in the class of 2025, ranked as the 185th Rivals250 prospect nationally. He is also considered one of the top players in Pennsylvania and the 20th best offensive tackle in his class, with nearly 30 scholarship offers from prestigious universities.
During his official visit to Tuscaloosa, Carroll was impressed by the energy and culture at Alabama and felt confident that he would be an integral part of their future plans. He explained that his relationships with the coaching staff and their vision for his role on the team were instrumental in making this decision possible. While he is uncertain about taking any more official visits, he mentioned that exploring Penn State with his family could be a possibility in the future.
